Tips & Variations
- Use crushed ice instead of cubes for faster chilling and authentic soda shop texture.
- Chill your soda beforehand to prevent it from watering down.
- Gently swirl with a straw after pouring to create a dreamy, layered effect.
- Add a drop of coconut extract to the creamer for extra coconut flavor.
- Chill your glass in the freezer for 10 minutes to make the drink extra cold.
- Swap Diet Coke with regular Coke, Coke Zero, or Dr Pepper for variety.
- Use vanilla or almond creamer instead of coconut for a different creamy twist.
- Substitute raspberry syrup with fresh raspberry puree or strawberry syrup.
- Use plant-based creamers like almond-coconut or oat-based for a dairy-free version.
Storage
You can mix the raspberry syrup and coconut creamer in advance and store the mixture in the fridge for up to 3 days. Stir or shake well before preparing your drink. The finished soda is best enjoyed immediately for maximum fizz and creaminess, so avoid storing after assembling.

FAQs
Can I make this with regular Coke instead of Diet?
Yes! Regular Coke, Coke Zero, or even Dr Pepper all work great and offer slight flavor variations.
What coconut creamer do you use?
I use Sweet Cream Coconut Creamer from Natural Bliss, but any coconut-based coffee creamer will work well in this recipe.
