- 12oz Can of Favorite Cola
- Coconut Syrup
- Fresh Lime
- Half and Half
This is a very simple recipe and can be made with any cola soda. My soda of choice is Diet Coke.
My favorite cups are these glass Wide-Mouth Mason Jar Tumblers! They are the perfect weight, and I can see my pretty drink.
Instructions:
Add two pumps or two tablespoons of Coconut Syrup to an empty tumbler.
Fill the tumbler about ⅔ with pebble ice.
Slice a fresh lime into 8 pieces, and squeeze two wedges over the ice. Then drop the wedges into the tumbler.
Open a can of your favorite cola soda and pour it into the tumbler.
Lastly, add a splash (1 -2 tablespoons) of Half and Half.
This drink is so pretty!
Now I can sit back, relax, and enjoy a sip of heaven!

Our Baking Essential List
- We use Glass Baking Dishes for baking casseroles. I especially like the dishes with lids because leftovers can be transferred straight to the fridge.
- Silicone Kitchenware is my favorite because they don't scratch my cookware and is easy to clean!
- A Glass Cutting Board is a must to prepare all of those ingredients. We even keep ours on our counter at all times.
- This Knife Set will also become your favorite! The knives cut beautifully, and the hollow design prevents food from sticking to the blade.

Have not even heard of this! How is that? Perhaps we Michigan people are a bit behind. My husband is the pop (soda) drinker in the family but I like to indulge now and then. This sounds fabulously refreshing. Shall be looking for it. Thank you for sharing.

I am so bummed. I have no idea how to purchase a mini syrup bottle. That is how I found her link because I'm trying but so far it looks like they don't ship it to America. I'm wondering how maverick purchased it or if you can tell me how?
