# Ingredients:

→ Drink Ingredients

01 - 1/4 cup heavy cream or half-and-half (for a richer taste)
02 - 1 cup fizzy orange soda
03 - 1 cup of finely crushed ice
04 - 2 tablespoons sweet vanilla syrup

→ Garnishes

05 - Fresh orange wedges
06 - Swirl of whipped cream (optional)

# Steps:

01 - Pack a tall glass with crushed ice, leaving a gap at the top in case you want whipped cream.
02 - Carefully add the orange soda to the glass, waiting a bit for the bubbles to go down.
03 - Mix the vanilla syrup into the soda gently so it all blends nicely. This gives it the creamy, dreamy flavor.
04 - Drizzle the half-and-half or cream slowly into the drink. Give it a light stir to partially mix but keep the beautiful swirl effect.
05 - Top it off with some whipped cream, if you like, and an orange slice for extra flair.
06 - Pop in a straw and sip it while it's icy and bubbly for the best experience!

# Helpful Notes:

01 - Best when sipped while fizzy and fresh
02 - For less sweetness, switch to diet soda
03 - Vanilla syrup can be made at home with sugar, water, and vanilla extract
04 - Spike it for adults with a splash (1 oz) of vanilla vodka
