Equipment
- 1 tall glass
- Spoon or reusable straw
- Measuring spoons
- Ice cube tray or bag of ice
Ingredients
- 1 cup chilled apple soda (Apple Fanta or Martinelli’s Sparkling Apple Juice work great)
- 2 tbsp cold half and half
- 1 tbsp vanilla syrup
- 1 tbsp caramel syrup
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers (for topping)
- Ice – enough to fill your glass
- Optional: whipped cream + thin apple slice for garnish
Instructions
- Fill the Glass with IceFill a tall glass with ice cubes until nearly full. It should feel chilled to the touch — that’s key to keeping the layers crisp and the fizz alive.
- Pour in the Apple SodaSlowly pour 1 cup of cold apple soda over the ice. Pause for a second to admire the bubbles — they’ll lift the caramel and vanilla notes beautifully.
- Add the SyrupsStir in 1 tablespoon each of vanilla syrup and caramel syrup. You’ll see them swirl together in ribbons of gold. (If you want that “coffee shop” layered look, don’t stir yet.)
- Pour in the Half and HalfGently pour 2 tablespoons of cold half and half over the soda. Move slowly — the magic is in watching the cream cascade and ripple through the fizz.
- Sprinkle CinnamonDust 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon evenly across the top. A little goes a long way — too much can dominate the flavor.
- Top and ServeAdd a generous sprinkle of crushed graham crackers, and finish with whipped cream if you’re feeling fancy. Serve immediately.
