Method
Coconut Cream Base
- 1
Combine base ingredients
In a medium bowl or measuring cup, whisk together 1 cup full-fat coconut milk, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon grated lime zest, and a pinch (1/4 tsp) fine sea salt until smooth and homogenous. Taste and, if you prefer sweeter, add up to 1–2 teaspoons simple syrup or coconut syrup and whisk again.

Chill and thicken slightly
Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let flavors meld and the mixture slightly thicken. If you prefer a frothier top, transfer the chilled mixture to a jar with a tight lid and shake vigorously for 20–30 seconds just before assembling; this aerates the cream for a velvety mouthfeel.
Soda & Assembly

Prepare glasses
Fill two 12- to 16-ounce serving glasses evenly with ice (about 1 cup ice per glass). If you like, rim the glass with a bit of simple syrup and dip into toasted shredded coconut for a decorative touch.

Top with coconut cream
Spoon or gently pour the chilled coconut cream mixture over the back of a spoon held just above the soda’s surface to create a floating cream layer. Use about half the cream mixture per glass (roughly 1/2 cup per glass). If you shook the base, it will form a light frothy cap on top of the soda.
