Storage
This drink is best enjoyed immediately to appreciate its fizz and fresh creamy texture. If needed, prepare fresh each time as soda drinks lose carbonation quickly and the mixture may separate when stored.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use regular ice cubes instead of crushed ice?
Yes, but crushed ice helps the drink mix better and provides a smoother texture. Regular cubes may also dilute the drink more slowly.
Is there a non-dairy alternative to half-and-half?
Absolutely. You can substitute half-and-half with coconut cream, almond milk, or oat milk to keep it creamy and suit your dietary preferences.
