Ingredients
Scale
For the Soda Base
- 1 cup Cream Soda (vanilla soda can substitute)
- 2 tablespoons Blueberry Syrup (store-bought or homemade with blueberries, sugar, and water)
- ¼ teaspoon Almond Extract
For the Cream Mixture
- ½ cup Heavy Cream (can substitute with coconut cream or oat milk creamer for dairy-free option)
- 2 tablespoons Sweetened Condensed Milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Sweet Cream Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth, rich, and creamy.
- Fill Glasses with Ice: Take two tall glasses and fill them about three-quarters full with clear ice cubes to keep the drink cold and refreshing.
- Add Cream Soda: Carefully pour 1 cup of cold cream soda into each glass over the ice, creating the fizzy base for the drink.
- Incorporate Blueberry Syrup: Using a spoon, gently add 2 tablespoons of blueberry syrup into each glass, allowing it to swirl naturally into the cream soda for vibrant flavor and color.
- Add Almond Extract: Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon of almond extract into each glass and gently stir if desired to enhance the authentic blueberry muffin flavor.
- Pour Sweet Cream Mixture: Slowly pour the prepared sweet cream mixture into each glass, allowing it to sink and swirl without stirring too much to preserve the layered appearance.
- Serve: Serve the Blueberry Muffin Dirty Soda immediately with a straw or spoon for easy mixing and sipping enjoyment.
Notes
- Use clear ice cubes for the best visual appeal in the glass.
- Blueberry syrup can be homemade by simmering fresh blueberries with sugar and water until thickened.
- Substitute heavy cream with coconut cream or oat milk creamer for a dairy-free version.
- Do not skip the almond extract; it is essential for replicating the blueberry muffin flavor profile.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the bubbly texture and fresh flavors at their peak.
