Ingredients
Scale
For the Soda Mix
- 1 cup Cream Soda (Vanilla soda can be a 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 Cream Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk them together smoothly for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes rich and creamy.
- Fill Glasses with Ice: Grab two tall glasses and fill them generously with clear ice cubes, about three-quarters full to keep your drink well chilled.
- Pour Cream Soda: Carefully pour 1 cup of cold cream soda into each glass over the ice, maintaining the fizz and freshness of the soda.
- Add Blueberry Syrup: Using a spoon, gently pour 2 tablespoons of blueberry syrup into each glass, letting it swirl naturally into the cream soda for that beautiful marbled effect.
- Season with Almond Extract: Sprinkle in ¼ teaspoon of almond extract into each glass; this adds an authentic bakery-inspired aroma and flavor.
- Layer the Cream Mixture: Gently pour the prepared sweet cream mixture into each glass, allowing it to sink and swirl without stirring to preserve the layered look and enrich the drink’s texture.
- Serve Immediately: Serve your Blueberry Muffin Dirty Soda immediately, equipped with a straw or spoon in each glass for optional stirring as you enjoy this refreshing treat.
