How to Make Coconut Kiss Dirty Soda
1. Fill the Glass with Ice
Fill a tall glass about ¾ full with ice cubes. This helps keep the soda chilled and creates that signature fizzy pour.
2. Pour in the Cola
Slowly pour the can of cola over the ice, letting it fizz and bubble up.
3. Add the Coconut Creamer
Pour in the coconut creamer, watching as it swirls through the soda, creating a beautiful marbled effect.
4. Drizzle with Cherry Syrup
Add the cherry syrup on top for a sweet, fruity kick.
5. Stir & Garnish
Stir everything together, then top with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry if you’d like!
Leftovers & Storage
- This drink is best enjoyed fresh.
- If you want to prep ahead, you can mix the cola and cherry syrup first and store it in the fridge, then add ice and coconut creamer when ready to serve.
