What you will need
This recipe uses 8 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 12 oz ginger ale or lemon-lime soda
- 4 tbsp peach syrup
- 3 tbsp coconut cream
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups crushed ice
- 1 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
- 3 slices fresh or canned peach
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Fill and Chill the Glass
Fill a large glass or mason jar to the brim with crushed ice. Use a glass that has been stored in the freezer for best results.
Step 2: Add Peach and Vanilla
Pour the peach syrup, vanilla extract, and fresh lemon juice over the ice. Stir gently just at the bottom to combine the flavors.
Step 3: Pour the Soda
Tilt the glass slightly and pour the cold ginger ale or lemon-lime soda slowly along the inner wall. This keeps the bubbles alive and prevents overflow.
Step 4: Layer the Cream
Whisk together the coconut cream and sweetened condensed milk until well combined. Spoon the mixture over the top of the soda in a slow and steady pour.
Step 5: Top and Serve
Arrange sliced peaches on top of the cream and serve immediately with a wide straw. Do not stir before serving to preserve the beautiful layers.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- peach syrup → apricot syrup or mango syrup
- ginger ale → Sprite or plain sparkling water
- coconut cream → vanilla ice cream blended until pourable
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Using peach nectar instead of syrup which is too thin and does not provide enough flavor
- Over-pouring the cream which makes the drink too heavy and overly sweet
- Letting the drink sit too long before drinking which causes the layers to fully combine and go flat
