Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Fill a tall glass with ice cubes, packing them in firmly.

  2. Step 2

    Pour the fruit syrup slowly over the ice until it reaches halfway up the glass.

  3. Step 3

    Top with sparkling water, filling the glass almost to the rim.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the cream slowly over the back of a bar spoon so it floats on top in a creamy layer.

  5. Step 5

    Garnish with a cherry or fruit slice on the rim and serve with a straw.

Tools you’ll need
