Ingredients

1 cup Coke (No substitutions recommended, diet versions can be used for a lighter option)
2 tablespoons Toasted Marshmallow Syrup (Look specifically for toasted marshmallow flavor for best results)
1 tablespoon Chocolate Syrup (Use sparingly to maintain balance; alternatives include melted chocolate drizzle)
1/4 cup Heavy Cream (Substitution: Use coconut cream or oat milk creamer for a dairy-free option)
2 tablespoons Sweetened Condensed Milk (For a lighter approach, consider a sugar-free version if available)

Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, combine the heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk together until smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Fill two tall glasses with clear ice cubes.
Step 3: Slowly pour 1 cup of cold Coke into each glass.
Step 4: Add 2 tablespoons of toasted marshmallow syrup to each glass.
Step 5: Pour 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup into each glass.
Step 6: Carefully spoon the sweet cream mixture over each drink.
Step 7: Serve your Campfire Cola Dirty Soda immediately with a straw or spoon to enjoy the layered flavors.

Tips & Variations

For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream or oat milk creamer without compromising the creamy texture.
Use diet Coke for a lighter soda option while keeping the rich flavor profile intact.
Adjust the amount of chocolate syrup to suit your sweetness preference; a drizzle of melted dark chocolate works well too.

Storage

This drink is best enjoyed fresh. If needed, you can prepare the sweet cream mixture in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The assembled soda should be consumed immediately, as the ice will dilute the flavors and the cream topping can lose its texture upon standing.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use other types of soda instead of Coke?

For the authentic Campfire Cola Dirty Soda flavor, Coke is recommended. Other colas may work but can alter the taste balance, so experiment carefully.

Is it possible to make this drink vegan?

Yes, by using dairy-free alternatives like coconut cream or oat milk creamer and a vegan sweetened condensed milk substitute, you can create a vegan-friendly version of this soda.
