Ingredients
- 300 ml chilled club soda
- 1 tbsp coconut syrup and 1 tbsp cherry syrup
- a cream float
- a cherry on top
- Ice
Equipment
- 16 oz glass
- Bar spoon
- Chilled club soda
How to make it
- Fill a 16 oz glass to the top with ice. More ice means less melt, which means the fizz stays fizzy.
- Pour 1 tbsp coconut syrup and 1 tbsp cherry syrup over the ice first, before any liquid — syrup at the bottom forces you to stir, and stirring kills carbonation.
- Slowly add 300 ml of chilled club soda down the side of the glass, tilting it if you have to. This is the whole trick.
- Give it exactly one gentle lift with a bar spoon from the bottom. Once, not five times.
- Float a cream float on top so it clouds down through the drink, then add a cherry on top.
- Serve immediately with a straw. Fizz loses its bite within about 5 minutes.
Tips that actually matter
- Ice to the very top — more ice means less melt means more fizz.
- Pour the soda down the side of the tilted glass, never into the centre.
- One gentle lift with a bar spoon. Not five.
Variations
- Add 1 tsp of lime for a sharper Bahama Mama.
- Sugar-free coconut syrup cuts about 80 calories.
- Frozen version: blend the whole thing with ice.
