Ingredients
- Pecan pieces
- 2 tablespoons, plus extra for garnish
- Ice cubes
- as needed
- Half and half
- 1/2 cup
- Club soda
- 1 cup
- Pecan extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons, or to taste
Instructions
- In a tall glass, combine the maple syrup and pecan extract. Stir well until the syrup is fully integrated with the extract, creating a sweet and aromatic base.
- Fill the glass with ice cubes to your desired level, ensuring your drink remains chilled and refreshing.
- Slowly pour the club soda over the ice, letting the fizzy bubbles mix gently with the maple and pecan mixture. Be careful not to stir too vigorously to preserve the carbonation.
- Gradually top with the half and half, letting it float on top for a beautiful creamy layer without fully mixing, creating a visually appealing drink.
- Garnish with additional pecan pieces for an extra crunch and a touch of elegance.
- Serve immediately with a straw or stirring stick, and enjoy the delightful symphony of flavors!
Tips
- For a stronger pecan flavor, consider adding an extra 1/2 teaspoon of pecan extract.
- If you prefer a lactose-free version, substitute half and half with a plant-based cream or a dairy-free alternative.
- For a more festive touch, rim the glass with crushed pecans or graham cracker crumbs before pouring your soda.
