This lime french soda fits in perfectly for us, because here at NellieBellie, we take snack times seriously. For serious. We think it is very important to take a few moments out of our work day to relax and enjoy a little something delicious. Often times our snacks take a few steps to get together, either because we are enjoying a new recipe for the site or testing out a snack we think you all will like.
But sometimes, we really don’t want to go to all the work of putting together a new snack. We just want to enjoy a really tasty, simple snack. No fussing with ingredients and blenders and whatnot.
Just chilling.
That’s where Pringles® come in; it’s so true that “once you pop, you can’t stop”. Really. And the new tortilla version is really as good as they claim; the zesty salsa ones taste like chips and salsa, without needing the salsa or the mess that comes with it. We can’t leave the container on the table or the whole thing will be gone. Considering there’s supposed to be six servings in there, probably not wise.
To prevent this problem, we put our snack into portioned containers and pretend we’re just trying to make our snack look more fancy!
We pair our Pringles® with a really simple lime French Soda that takes just seconds to make, but feels fancy. It’s just three ingredients, ones we usually have on hand, and naturally creates something of its own “whipped cream” when mixed together. Mix 2 ounces of coconut cream, 2 ounces of lime juice, and 8 ounces of carbonated water stirred together and you’re done! Yum!
Supplies:
- 2 ounces coconut cream
- 2 ounces lime juice
- 8 ounces carbonated water
To Do:
- Mix together.
- Enjoy

What is that sitting on top of the cup of soda? Flaked coconut? Marshmallow Cream? Soap suds?

Oh gosh, it DOES look like soap suds! Actually, the cream of coconut creates that with the bubbles from the soda.
Can I make this in a punch bowl for a party, and will it stay foamy and pretty over a duration of 3 hours?
Author
You know, I’m not sure. I’ve never made it that way and every time I have made it it has been drank within minutes :). I would try making a glass and leaving it for a few hours to see what it does. Let me know if you do use it and how it works…good luck!
Carbonated water?? Soda water? Mineral water? Any carbonated water (or I guess you could use soda- maybe orange soda with the lime would be good too???

You really can use any carbonated water. I usually use club soda.
By “cream of coconut,” do you mean the sweetened stuff like Coco Lopez or Coco Real, sold near the cocktail mixes, or the unsweetened canned one?
You were right with the first guess; the stuff near the cocktails!
I love the look of the “foam” on top – looks like whipped cream with coconut sprinkled on top. What is it really, and how do I get that on top of mine? This looks wonderful, can’t wait to fix one. Love the straw, too!
Robin, the foam is actually just what happens naturally when you make this drink. Mix the coconut cream and lime juice together first, then pour in that carbonation and it will naturally look like that. No work necessary!
Do you just stir it together? or use a mixer? or a blender?? It looks fantastic and I can’t wait to try it.

Just a simple stir. I like to stir the coconut and lime together and then add the soda. The soda will get all bubbly…fair warning :). Kids love that!
