Ingredients
Scale
Drink Ingredients
- 1 cup Cream Soda (Vanilla soda can be a substitute)
- 2 tablespoons Blueberry Syrup (store-bought or homemade with blueberries, sugar, and water)
- ½ cup Heavy Cream (can substitute with coconut cream or oat milk creamer for dairy-free option)
- 2 tablespoons Sweetened Condensed Milk (no direct substitute suggested)
- ¼ teaspoon Almond Extract (essential for authentic flavor)
Instructions
- Prepare the creamy mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- Fill glasses with ice: Fill two tall glasses about three-quarters full with clear ice cubes to chill the drink effectively.
- Add cream soda: Pour 1 cup of cold cream soda evenly into each glass over the ice, keeping the fizz intact.
- Incorporate blueberry syrup: Spoon 2 tablespoons of blueberry syrup carefully into each glass, allowing it to swirl naturally through the cream soda for beautiful visual effects and flavor layers.
- Add almond extract: Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon of almond extract into each glass to enhance the drink’s aroma and taste, stirring gently if you prefer a more integrated flavor.
- Pour the creamy mix: Gently pour the sweet cream mixture over the back of a spoon into each glass. This helps the cream sink and swirl beautifully without mixing immediately.
- Serve immediately: Serve your Blueberry Muffin Dirty Soda fresh with a straw or spoon in each glass for optional stirring.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream or oat milk creamer.
- Blueberry syrup can be homemade by simmering blueberries with sugar and water until syrupy.
- Use clear ice for the best visual appeal and slower dilution.
- The almond extract is crucial for replicating the authentic blueberry muffin flavor—do not omit.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh fizz and layered appearance.
