Ingredients
Scale
For the Drink
- 1 cup Cream Soda (vanilla soda can be a substitute)
- 2 tablespoons Blueberry Syrup (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ cup Heavy Cream (can substitute coconut cream or oat milk creamer for dairy-free)
- 2 tablespoons Sweetened Condensed Milk
- ¼ teaspoon Almond Extract
- Clear ice cubes (about three-quarters full per glass)
Instructions
- Prepare Cream Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This creates the rich component of the drink.
- Fill Glasses with Ice: Take two tall glasses and fill each generously with clear ice cubes up to about three-quarters of the glass to keep the drink chilled and refreshing.
- Add Cream Soda: Carefully pour 1 cup of cold cream soda into each glass over the ice, providing the fizzy base for the drink.
- Incorporate Blueberry Syrup: Using a spoon, gently drizzle 2 tablespoons of blueberry syrup into each glass, allowing it to swirl naturally and infuse the cream soda with fruity flavor.
- Add Almond Extract: Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon of almond extract into each glass to enhance the flavor profile with a subtle nutty aroma. Stir gently if desired to blend.
- Pour Cream Mixture: Slowly pour the prepared sweet cream mixture into each glass, allowing it to sink and create visually appealing swirls without stirring to maintain distinct layers.
- Serve Immediately: Serve your Blueberry Muffin Dirty Soda right away with a straw or spoon for optional stirring, ensuring the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream or oat milk creamer.
- Blueberry syrup can be homemade by simmering fresh blueberries with sugar and water until thickened.
- Do not skip almond extract as it adds the signature flavor resembling blueberry muffins.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best fizz and cream swirl effect.
