Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz (1 can) Cola (e.g., Coca-Cola or Pepsi)
- 2 tablespoons Heavy Cream or Half-and-Half
- 1 tablespoon Chocolate Syrup (e.g., Hershey's)
- 1 tablespoon Toasted Marshmallow Syrup (or regular marshmallow syrup)
- 1 cup Ice
- 1 tablespoon Mini Marshmallows, for garnish
- 1 teaspoon Chocolate Shavings or Cocoa Powder, for garnish
Instructions
- Step 1: Fill a tall glass (approximately 16 oz capacity) generously with ice, ensuring enough room for liquids and toppings.
- Step 2: Add the chocolate syrup and the toasted marshmallow syrup directly into the glass over the ice.
- Step 3: Slowly pour the cold cola over the syrups and ice, filling the glass almost to the top to preserve as much fizz as possible.
- Step 4: Gently drizzle the heavy cream or half-and-half over the top of the drink. Allow it to sink and swirl slightly, creating the signature "dirty soda" cloud effect.
- Step 5: Give the drink a gentle stir with a spoon or straw to lightly combine the flavors without losing excessive fizz.
- Step 6: Garnish the top with a handful of mini marshmallows and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for a "campfire" inspired finish. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For the freshest fizzy experience, it’s best to mix this Campfire Cola Dirty Soda right before serving; simply store individual ingredients separately for future enjoyment.
- As a delightful cold beverage, this drink isn't meant for reheating, which would flatten its refreshing fizz and melt its creamy swirls, so always prepare it fresh.
- Serve immediately in a clear, tall glass to truly appreciate the mesmerizing "dirty soda" cloud, perhaps alongside a campfire story or your favorite sweet treat for peak coziness.
- To enhance the "campfire" magic, gently toast your mini marshmallows with a kitchen torch right before garnishing for an extra layer of smoky flavor and a beautiful golden finish.
