Ingredients
  

  • Some of the best recipes are born from happy accidents, and this creamy fizz is a perfect example. On a day when a milkshake craving struck but the pantry was bare, a little kitchen creativity led to this incredible discovery. By combining rich, full-fat coconut milk with the crisp effervescence of sparkling water, I stumbled upon a drink that has all the luscious, satisfying texture of a milkshake, without the sugar crash. It’s a simple, guilt-free indulgence that proves sometimes the most delicious creations are the most unexpected.
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml / 2.7 fl oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 or 3 drops liquid stevia (optional)
  • 12 ounces (355 ml / 12 fl oz) sparkling water, chilled
  • For the creamiest texture, ensure your coconut milk is well-chilled and thoroughly stirred before measuring.

Method
 

  1. Pour the coconut milk into a tall 16-ounce / 475-ml glass.
  2. Add the stevia, if using, and stir until it is completely dissolved into the milk.
  3. Slowly pour the chilled sparkling water into the glass.
  4. Enjoy immediately while it’s cold and bubbly.
  5. Add a splash of vanilla extract or a dash of cinnamon to the coconut milk for a delicious flavor variation.
  6. Pour the sparkling water slowly down the side of the glass to prevent it from fizzing over and to create a beautiful layered effect.
  7. Garnish with a lime wedge or a fresh mint sprig to elevate the presentation and add a hint of bright aroma.
