Equipment
- 1 Tall highball glass
- 1 Bar spoon or regular spoon for cream float
- 1 Jigger or measuring spoon
Ingredients
For the Mocktail
- 1 oz banana syrup Monin brand or homemade from overripe banana
- 3/4 oz toffee sauce or thick caramel sauce
- 4 oz cream soda Jones or Virgils recommended
- 1 cup ice cubes
For the Cream Float
- 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream or coconut cream for dairy-free
Optional Garnish
- 1 tbsp digestive biscuits crushed, for rim
- 1 tsp toffee sauce for drizzle on top
Instructions
Prepare the Glass
- If using the biscuit rim, wet the edge of a tall glass with a damp finger, then press it into crushed digestive biscuits on a flat plate. Set aside.
- Fill the glass to the top with ice cubes. A cold glass keeps the cream soda fizzy longer.
Build the Drink
- Measure 3/4 oz toffee sauce and pour it directly into the glass over the ice. Toffee goes in before the soda so it distributes evenly.
- Measure 1 oz banana syrup and pour it in. Give the glass a single gentle swirl -- you want the banana and toffee to blend lightly, not fully mix.
- Pour 4 oz cream soda slowly down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation. The glass should be nearly full at this point.
Add the Cream Float
- Hold a bar spoon just above the surface of the drink, curved side up. Pour the heavy cream slowly over the back of the spoon. It will spread across the top as a separate white layer.
- Drizzle a thin line of toffee sauce over the cream float and serve immediately. The cream will start to blend in after 2-3 minutes, so drink while the layers are visible.
Notes
Use overripe banana (black-spotted) for homemade syrup -- fresh banana produces a weak flavor. For dairy-free: substitute thick coconut cream for the float. Reduce toffee to 1/2 oz if your cream soda is already sweet. Batch-ready: pre-mix banana syrup and toffee in a pitcher and refrigerate; add soda and cream float at serve time.
