Ingredients
Scale
Blueberry Muffin Dirty Soda
- 1 cup Cream Soda (Vanilla soda can be a substitute)
- 2 tablespoons Blueberry Syrup (store-bought or homemade from blueberries, sugar, and water)
- ½ cup Heavy Cream (or substitute with coconut cream or oat milk creamer for dairy-free)
- 2 tablespoons Sweetened Condensed Milk
- ¼ teaspoon Almond Extract
- Ice Cubes (to fill the glasses about three-quarters)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth, rich, and creamy.
- Fill Glasses with Ice: Grab two tall glasses and fill each about three-quarters full with clear ice cubes to chill the drink effectively.
- Add Cream Soda: Carefully pour 1 cup of cold cream soda into each glass over the ice, providing the fizzy base for the drink.
- Pour Blueberry Syrup: Using a spoon, gently add 2 tablespoons of blueberry syrup to each glass, allowing it to swirl naturally into the cream soda for a beautiful visual and fruity flavor burst.
- Add Almond Extract: Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon of almond extract into each glass to impart an authentic blueberry muffin aroma and flavor; stir gently if desired.
- Top with Cream Mixture: Slowly pour the prepared creamy mixture into each glass, letting it sink and swirl without stirring to preserve the layered look and creamy richness.
- Serve Immediately: Present your Blueberry Muffin Dirty Soda right away, with a straw or spoon in each glass for optional stirring and enjoyment.
Notes
- For a dairy-free alternative, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream or oat milk creamer.
- To make homemade blueberry syrup, simmer equal parts blueberries, sugar, and water until thickened, then strain.
- Be gentle while pouring to maintain the layered visual effect of the drink.
- Use clear ice cubes for the best presentation and slower melting.
- This recipe serves two and can be easily scaled up for more servings.
