One of the main ingredients is the flavor syrup and that makes me really frustrated because in my area the only types of Torani flavored syrups available are for coffees, so there's not many yummy fruit choices. The best one I found was raspberry, so I did what I could with it. So... here goes:
INGREDIENTS:
Flavored syrup (Torani brand is best, fruit flavor seems most popular. I wanted strawberry, but o well... I used raspberry.)
Soda water / Club Soda (I actually used the flavored carbonated waters... again raspberry flavor)
1/2 & 1/2 cream (milk or any type of cream is suitable, according to what I've read)
Ice
Whipped cream (from a can!!! Yum!)
DIRECTIONS:
1) Pour in flavored syrup first.... 1-2 tbsp, depending on your liking
2) Pour in equal amount of cream & whisk together
3) Fill with ice, either a little or almost all the way to the top
4) Pour in your soda of choice, leaving a small rim at the top
5) Top with a good sized dollop (don't you just love that word) of whip cream from a can
** Now, I've had issues with this recipe, and I've made it differently each time (3 times, so far) and have not found a good combination or order that doesn't result in slightly curdled milk/cream. Of course, you could just leave out the cream ingredient, but it just tastes so good with it!
I've come across this website with a list of different flavor combinations you might like to try!

If anyone has tried this and used cream and NOT had it curdle at all.... please send me a note on how in the world you did it. Mine tastes awesome anyway, but I would love to know that secret!!
Thanks for reading - - Enjoy this drink!!
