Raspberry Dream Dirty Soda is a refreshing and creamy fizzy drink combining lemon-lime soda with a luscious raspberry cream mixture, garnished with whipped cream and fresh raspberries for a delightful treat.

Ingredients

Main Drink

  • 1 cup crushed ice
  • 355 ml lemon-lime soda or club soda (1 can, 12 oz), chilled
  • 30 ml raspberry syrup (store-bought or homemade)
  • 30 ml half-and-half or heavy cream
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Garnishes

  • Whipped cream (as desired)
  • Fresh raspberries (as desired)
  • Extra raspberry syrup for drizzle (as desired)

Instructions

  1. Add Ice and Soda: Fill a tall glass with crushed ice. Pour in lemon-lime soda or club soda, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top of the glass.
  2. Mix Cream Base: In a small bowl, stir together raspberry syrup, half-and-half or heavy cream, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Assemble the Drink: Slowly pour the raspberry cream mixture over the soda in the glass. Allow the creamy swirls to form naturally without stirring too vigorously to maintain the marbled effect.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Top the drink with whipped cream, fresh raspberries, and an extra drizzle of raspberry syrup if desired. Serve immediately with a straw for a delightful refreshing experience.

Notes

  • Use crushed ice to ensure the drink stays cold and the flavors meld well.
  • For a lighter option, substitute half-and-half with milk, but cream provides the best richness.
  • Homemade raspberry syrup can be made by simmering raspberries with sugar and water, then straining.
  • Do not stir vigorously after adding the cream mixture to preserve the appealing swirls in the soda.
  • Adjust the amount of raspberry syrup to taste depending on desired sweetness and intensity.
