Ingredients
-
1.5 oz vodka (vanilla or plain)
-
6 oz Sprite or any lemon-lime soda
-
1 oz red velvet syrup (or substitute strawberry syrup)
-
2 tbsp vanilla or cake-flavored cream (coffee creamer, sweet cream, or heavy cream)
-
Ice (enough to fill the glass)
Optional Garnishes:
-
Red sugar (for rimming the glass)
-
Whipped cream
-
Cake pop or mini red velvet cupcake (for topping)
Instructions
-
Fill a tall clear glass to the top with ice.
-
Slowly pour the red velvet syrup over the ice, letting it settle at the bottom for that bold “dirty” look.
-
Add vodka over the syrup and ice, pouring carefully to preserve the layer.
-
Gently pour in the Sprite until the glass is almost full.
-
Drizzle the vanilla or cake-flavored cream over the top. For a marbled swirl, don’t stir; for a blended flavor, give it a gentle mix.
-
Rim the glass with red sugar if desired. Top with whipped cream and a cake pop or mini cupcake for extra flair.
-
Serve immediately and enjoy the sweet, fizzy fun.
Notes
-
For a non-alcoholic version, skip the vodka and add extra soda or juice.
-
Strawberry syrup, grenadine, or raspberry syrup can all be used in place of red velvet syrup.
-
Use coconut cream or oat milk creamer to make it dairy-free.
-
Want it extra festive? Add edible glitter or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for float-style vibes.
-
Best served fresh—assemble just before serving to keep the soda fizzy and the layers distinct.
