Creamy coconut, fresh lime juice, and carbonated water make the perfect Italian soda turned French Soda. Sooo yummy!
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!
What is the difference between Italian Soda and French Soda?
French Soda has half & half or milk added to it to create a creamy creamosa sort of thing.
We get asked all of the time on our Sex on a Snowbank cocktail (which also uses coconut cream):
Where can I get coconut cream?
You have two options:
–Option 1 is to grab coconut milk (full-fat) from the ethnic aisle in your grocery store and use the thick part that settles to the top. We prefer this method because it keeps the sugar content down.
–Option 2 is to head to the liquor section and use the Coco Real that you find in the mixers, there. This has sweetener added and sometimes a good option if you need the extra sweetness.
Try changing up the lime juice with another favorite flavor like cherry grenadine, orange juice, or even coffee.

Nellie says
April 20, 2019 at 1:18 pmBoth works! And most don’t know there are two kinds…kudos for that! The canned coconut milk won’t be as sweet and I like to use that and then add sweetener, as needed. But the drink mix can be easier to use because it already has the sweetener in it.

Nellie says
May 2, 2018 at 9:08 pmOh gosh, it DOES look like soap suds! Actually, the cream of coconut creates that with the bubbles from the soda.

June 10, 2016 at 8:57 amCan I make this in a punch bowl for a party, and will it stay foamy and pretty over a duration of 3 hours?
Nellie says
June 12, 2016 at 8:37 amYou 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!
