I also experimented with mixing my own drink! My coworker visited, and he mentioned in passing coconut cream. So I decided to try it:

Sparkling water, coconut cream, and mango nectar

John made "everything" stew again

Close enough!
And baked in a cast iron!
Plated, sadly this one didn't rise too well

It has both cheese and sour cream on top
