Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Glass

Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. This keeps your drink cold and prevents dilution.

2. Mix the Drink

Pour the Irish cream and vanilla vodka over the ice.

3. Add the Fizz

Slowly top the glass with cream soda to preserve its carbonation.

4. Stir Gently

Use a bar spoon or straw to mix the ingredients, ensuring a smooth, blended flavor without losing the soda’s bubbles.

5. Garnish and Serve

If desired, add a dollop of whipped cream or a light sprinkle of nutmeg for a festive presentation. Sip and enjoy!
