Ingredients

• 1 can (12 oz) cream soda, chilled

3. Step 3: Pour 2 tablespoons of blueberry syrup into each glass over the ice.
4. Step 4: Slowly pour 6 oz (half a can) of cream soda into each glass, letting it bubble over the syrup.
5. Step 5: In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup half and half with 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir gently, then pour half the mixture into each glass over the soda.
6. Step 6: Sprinkle the muffin crumbles and fresh blueberries over the top of each drink. Add a straw if desired and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

• Use homemade blueberry syrup for a fresher, less sweet option.
• Try swapping the cream soda for sparkling water and a splash of vanilla for a lighter version.
• Substitute the blueberry muffin with a lemon or vanilla muffin for a different flavor twist.

Storage

It’s best to enjoy this drink immediately as the soda will lose its fizz and the muffin crumbles will become soggy over time. If you need to prepare syrup in advance, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use another type of soda instead of cream soda?

Yes, you can experiment with different sodas like lemon-lime or ginger ale, but cream soda adds a unique, smooth sweetness that pairs well with the blueberry flavors.

Is it necessary to crumble the muffin for this drink?

The crumbled muffin adds texture and a burst of blueberry muffin flavor to the soda. If you prefer, you can skip it, but it’s a key part of the “dirty soda” experience.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

For the Drink

• 1 can (12 oz) cream soda, chilled
• 1/4 cup blueberry syrup (store-bought or homemade)
• 1/4 cup half and half, cold
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Ice, as needed

For Garnish

• 1 blueberry muffin, crumbled
• Fresh blueberries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Crumble the Muffin
   Crumble one blueberry muffin into small, soft chunks using your fingers or a spoon. Set these aside to use as a topping for the drinks.
2. Step 2: Fill the Glasses with Ice
   Place a generous amount of ice into two tall glasses, filling each glass about three-quarters full to ensure your drink remains cool and refreshing.
3. Step 3: Add the Blueberry Syrup
   Pour 2 tablespoons of blueberry syrup over the ice in each glass, allowing the syrup to settle at the bottom for a layered flavor effect.
4. Step 4: Pour in the Cream Soda
   Slowly pour 6 ounces (half a can) of chilled cream soda into each glass over the syrup and ice. The soda will bubble up and mix slightly with the syrup, creating a fizzy base.
5. Step 5: Add Half and Half and Vanilla
   In a small bowl or cup, combine the cold half and half with the vanilla extract and stir gently to blend. Pour half of this creamy mixture into each glass over the cream soda to add richness and balance the sweetness.
6. Step 6: Top with Muffin Crumbles and Blueberries
   Sprinkle the crumbled blueberry muffin evenly on top of each drink. For an extra burst of fresh flavor and visual appeal, garnish with fresh blueberries. Add a straw, and your Blueberry Muffin Dirty Soda is ready to enjoy.

Notes

• The blueberry syrup can be store-bought or homemade; homemade syrup offers a fresher taste.
• Use very cold cream soda and half and half to keep the drink chilled without diluting it.
• Gently pour the soda to preserve carbonation and achieve the desired bubbly texture.
• Feel free to substitute the muffin crumbles with other types of muffins for different flavor variations.
• This drink is best enjoyed immediately to maintain the fizzy and fresh qualities.
