Ingredients
- 2 cups diet cola, well chilled
- ¼ cup coconut syrup, chilled
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, about 1 large lime
- ¼ cup heavy cream, very cold
- 1 to 1½ cups ice cubes or crushed ice
Instructions
- Chill the ingredients: Place the cola, coconut syrup, lime, and heavy cream in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Chilled ingredients help preserve the fizz and create beautiful creamy swirls.
- Prepare the glasses: Fill two mason jars about two-thirds full with ice.
- Make the coconut-lime mixture: In a small measuring cup, stir together the coconut syrup and fresh lime juice until well combined.
- Add the syrup: Divide the coconut-lime mixture evenly between the two ice-filled jars.
- Pour in the cola: Slowly add 1 cup of chilled diet cola to each jar. Tilt the jars slightly and pour down the side to help preserve the carbonation.
- Stir gently: Give each drink a few gentle turns with a long spoon to combine the flavors while leaving some beautiful streaks.
- Add the cream: Slowly pour about 2 tablespoons of very cold heavy cream into the center of each drink. Let it naturally swirl through the cola.
- Serve immediately: If desired, give each drink one or two gentle stirs. Serve while the drink is cold, fizzy, and beautifully marbled.
Conclusion
This 4-Ingredient Dirty Cola is an easy and refreshing homemade drink with a delicious combination of coconut, lime, creamy richness, and bubbly cola. The beautiful swirls make it especially fun to serve, while the simple ingredients mean you can prepare it whenever a soda-shop-style treat sounds good.
