Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup cola
- 2 tablespoons caramel syrup
- 2 tablespoons half-and-half
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup crushed ice
Instructions
- Drizzle Caramel Inside Glass: Take a tall glass and drizzle 1 tablespoon of caramel syrup in a spiral pattern along the inside walls, starting from the bottom and working your way up to create attractive streaks visible through the glass.
- Add Ice and Cola: Fill the glass halfway with 1/2 cup crushed ice, then slowly pour 1 cup of cola over the ice, pouring carefully down the side to maintain carbonation and prevent overflow, allowing the cola to cascade through the caramel-lined glass.
- Mix in Vanilla Extract: Pour 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the glass, then give it a gentle stir to evenly distribute the vanilla and enhance the caramel’s richness without disturbing the carbonation.
- Add Half-and-Half and Stir: Pour 2 tablespoons of half-and-half into the drink, letting it create beautiful swirls. Gently stir once or twice with a long spoon to blend the ingredients while keeping the soda fizzy.
Notes
- Chill your glass in the freezer for 15 minutes before preparing the drink to keep it colder and fizzy longer.
- Use crushed ice for smoother mixing and a better drinking experience.
- Pour cola slowly down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation.
- For extra flair, drizzle additional caramel on top or add a sprinkle of sea salt.
- Substitute half-and-half with coconut cream or other non-dairy alternatives for a dairy-free option.
- Experiment with different sodas like Dr Pepper, Pepsi, or root beer for flavor variations.
- Try flavored syrups such as butterscotch, chocolate, or hazelnut to customize your soda.
- Top with whipped cream, crushed cookies, or toasted marshmallows for special occasions.
- Invest in an espresso milk frother to add a creamy texture to your drink’s topping.
