Rim a glass with simple syrup, then dip the rim into crushed candy canes to coat.
In a shaker or mixing glass, gently stir together cream soda, half and half, and peppermint syrup.
Pour the mixture into the prepared glass.
Serve immediately and enjoy.

Use almond, oat, or other plant-based milk instead of half and half for a dairy-free version.

Add a splash of vanilla extract for extra richness.

Garnish with a whole candy cane, peppermint stick, or whipped cream for festive flair.

Peppermint and simple syrups can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.

Best served fresh to maintain carbonation and creaminess.
