Creamsicle Dirty Soda: Your New Summer Obsession
Hey loves! Remember those sticky-sweet creamsicle pops we used to devour as kids? This grown-up dirty soda version is giving all the nostalgic vibes with zero mess. Trust me, it's the fizzy, creamy dream you didn't know you needed on a scorching Jozi afternoon. Literally obsessed!
Ingredients
For the Drink
- 1 cup crushed ice (the finer the better for that Insta-worthy swirl)
- 1 cup orange soda (chilled for max fizz)
- ¼ cup half-and-half (or heavy cream for extra indulgence)
- 2 tbsp vanilla syrup (the magic creamsicle maker)
For Garnish
- Whipped cream (optional but oh-so-good)
- Fresh orange slice (for that Insta pop!)
Instructions
- First, grab a tall glass and fill it up with crushed ice, leaving a bit of space at the top for your whipped cream crown.
- Slowly pour the orange soda over the ice – go easy to keep those precious bubbles!
- Stir in the vanilla syrup to create that signature creamsicle flavor we're all craving.
- Now, gently pour the half-and-half over the back of a spoon to create those dreamy swirls – give it a light stir for marbled magic.
- Feeling fancy? Top it with a cloud of whipped cream and an orange slice perched on the rim.
- Pop in a straw and sip immediately while it's still icy cold and fizzy – pure bliss!
Notes
Best enjoyed immediately! Pro-tip: Chill your glass in the freezer for 10 minutes beforehand for an extra frosty sip. For a tropical twist, swap orange soda for pineapple Fanta and add a splash of coconut cream.
