Ingredients

  • ½ cup Italian fruit syrup (grenadine, amaretto, or raspberry)
  • 1.5 cup sparkling water or soda water
  • 3 tbsp heavy cream or whipped cream
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

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