Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the key lime juice and sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved to create a homemade lime syrup.
- Pour the lime syrup equally into two tall glasses.
- Place a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream in each glass, over the lime syrup.
- Slowly pour the club soda into each glass, filling it almost to the top but leaving some space for the whipped cream.
- Top each glass with a dollop of whipped cream, adding that final creamy touch.
- Garnish each glass with a slice of lime for a pop of color and extra zest. Serve immediately and enjoy the fizzy, creamy, tangy delight.
Tips
- For a more intense lime flavor, you can add some lime zest into the lime syrup.
- You can also use lime-flavored soda instead of club soda for an extra lime kick.
- If you prefer a less sweet drink, you can reduce the amount of sugar.
