Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup chilled apple soda (like Apple Fanta or Martinelli’s sparkling apple juice)
- 2 tablespoons half and half (cold)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup
- 1 tablespoon caramel syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Ice (enough to fill your cup)
Toppings
- 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers
- Optional: whipped cream
Instructions
- Prepare the glass: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes to chill the drink thoroughly and maintain its refreshing texture.
- Add syrups and cinnamon: Pour in 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup, 1 tablespoon of caramel syrup, and sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon over the ice carefully, as cinnamon is strong and a little goes a long way.
- Pour the soda: Slowly pour 1 cup of cold, chilled apple soda into the glass to mix with the syrups without melting the ice too quickly.
- Add the half and half: Slowly add 2 tablespoons of cold half and half to create that creamy swirl effect; pour gently to avoid curdling.
- Garnish and serve: Top the drink with 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers and optionally add a dollop of whipped cream or a thin apple slice for a pretty garnish. Stir gently if you prefer a mixed drink, or leave it layered for presentation.
Notes
- Use cold soda straight from the fridge to prevent ice from melting too quickly, keeping your drink bubbly and fresh.
- Sprinkle cinnamon lightly; its flavor is potent and can overpower the drink if overused.
- Pour the half and half slowly to maintain the creamy swirls and avoid curdling.
- Try different soda bases like Coke or root beer for variations.
- You can substitute half and half with coconut cream, almond milk, or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
- Pre-mix sweet cream and cinnamon in a jar and keep chilled for up to 3 days for convenience.
