Ingredients
Scale
Liquid 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
Flavoring
- ¼ teaspoon Almond Extract (essential for authentic flavor)
Instructions
- Prepare the Glasses: Chill two glasses in the refrigerator or fill with ice cubes to ensure your drink stays cool and refreshing. This also helps maintain the carbonation and flavor balance once all ingredients are added.
- Add Blueberry Syrup: Pour 2 tablespoons of blueberry syrup evenly into each glass. This syrup provides the signature blueberry muffin taste and a slight fruity sweetness to the soda.
- Pour Cream Soda: Slowly add 1 cup of cream soda (or vanilla soda substitute) into the glasses over the syrup, pouring gently to retain as much carbonation as possible.
- Mix Cream and Sweetened Condensed Milk: In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk together ½ cup heavy cream and 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk until well combined to create a rich and creamy mixture.
- Add Almond Extract: Stir ¼ teaspoon almond extract into the cream mixture to replicate the flavor notes associated with blueberry muffins, adding depth and authenticity to the drink.
- Top the Soda: Slowly pour the cream and condensed milk mixture over the soda and syrup in each glass, allowing it to float and create a layered, creamy effect. Do not stir to preserve the visual appeal and texture.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the blueberry muffin dirty soda immediately with a straw or spoon to enjoy the creamy, fizzy, and flavorful layers in every sip.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream or oat milk creamer.
- Store-bought blueberry syrup works well, but homemade syrup provides a fresher, more natural flavor.
- Do not skip the almond extract; it is key to achieving the authentic blueberry muffin taste.
- This drink is best served immediately to enjoy the carbonation and creamy layering before it blends together.
