Ingredients:

  • 12 oz chilled cola or root beer
  • 2 tbsp vanilla syrup
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 pinch sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Fill a tall glass to the brim with pebble ice or crushed ice to ensure the drink stays chilled and minimizes dilution.
  2. Pour the vanilla syrup directly over the ice. Add a pinch of sea salt at this stage to balance the sweetness.
  3. Slowly pour the chilled soda over the syrup, leaving about 1 inch of space from the rim of the glass.
  4. Slowly pour the heavy cream or half-and-half directly into the center of the drink. Let the cream bloom downward, then gently fold the mixture once with a long-handled stirrer to combine.
