Ingredients You’ll Need

This Campfire Cola Dirty Soda recipe is as playful as it is simple. Each ingredient is chosen for maximum flavor and that signature layered look, so don’t skip anything if you want that perfect s’mores-meets-soda moment!

Cold Coke: Go for classic Coca-Cola—the ice-cold bubbles are the fizzy canvas everything else builds on.
Toasted Marshmallow Syrup: This sweet, robust syrup drips campfire magic into the mix, don’t sub with plain vanilla!
Chocolate Syrup or Drizzle: Think of this as your s’mores chocolate bar—it’s a must for those rich, swirly ribbons.
Heavy Cream: Thick, ultra-creamy, and essential for creating that luscious, floating layer on top.
Sweetened Condensed Milk: Adds extra sweetness and helps the sweet cream mix achieve just the right texture.
Ice: Plenty of clear ice cubes keep everything frosty and help create beautiful layers in the glass.

How to Make Campfire Cola Dirty Soda

Step 1: Make the Sweet Cream

Start by stirring together the heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk in a small jar or bowl. Mix until you’ve got a silky, smooth cream. This simple blend creates the signature cloud-like topping that makes Campfire Cola Dirty Soda so irresistible—totally worth the extra minute!

Step 2: Fill Glasses with Ice

Grab two tall glasses and fill them all the way up with clear ice cubes. Don’t skimp—lots of ice means that gorgeous chilled effect and keeps your layers from mingling too soon.

Step 3: Pour in the Coke

Slowly pour one cup of cold Coke into each glass right over the ice. Let that satisfying fizz bubble up and settle—it’s the base for every flavor that follows.

Step 4: Add Toasted Marshmallow Syrup

Drizzle two tablespoons of toasted marshmallow syrup into each glass, letting it sink and swirl gently through the soda. Watch as it forms dreamy golden ribbons!

Step 5: Drizzle in the Chocolate

Add a tablespoon of chocolate syrup to each glass. Let it naturally swirl without stirring for beautiful chocolatey striations running through your Campfire Cola Dirty Soda.

Step 6: Top with Sweet Cream

Take your time pouring that homemade sweet cream over each drink. Let it cascade for a creamy, picturesque effect—this is where the magic really happens.

Step 7: Serve and Sip

Pop in a straw or spoon and decide: do you want to admire the swirling layers, or give it one satisfying stir? Either way, serve Campfire Cola Dirty Soda right away for the best fizz and flavor.

How to Serve Campfire Cola Dirty Soda

Garnishes

A toasted mini marshmallow on a cocktail pick or a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers on top pulls the whole campfire theme together. For an Instagram-worthy finish, drizzle extra chocolate syrup over the sweet cream right before serving.

Side Dishes

Pair your Campfire Cola Dirty Soda with chocolate chip cookies, butterscotch blondies, or even salty snacks like pretzel sticks to contrast the sweetness. It’s a dreamy treat for movie nights or an after-school surprise!

Creative Ways to Present

Serve these beauties in mason jars for the ultimate campfire vibe, or use clear tall glasses to really show off those gorgeous stripes. Add a sparkly paper straw, a sprinkle of edible glitter, or serve on a wooden tray with mini s’mores on the side.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Campfire Cola Dirty Soda is best when sipped right after making. If you have leftover sweet cream, keep it in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to three days—just give it a shake before using again.

Freezing

Freezing isn’t recommended for this drink since the soda will lose its fizz and the cream layers won’t thaw nicely. For best results, enjoy it fresh with lots of ice!

Reheating

Since this is a cold drink, reheating isn’t necessary. If you’ve pre-mixed the sweet cream, simply pour it over a fresh glass of soda and ice when you’re ready to serve.

FAQs

Can I use a different soda instead of Coke?

Absolutely! While Coke gives that classic cola depth, you can swap in root beer or even cream soda for a new twist. Just remember, each soda will change the overall flavor of your Campfire Cola Dirty Soda.

Where can I find toasted marshmallow syrup?

Many specialty coffee shops and online retailers stock toasted marshmallow syrup. If you can’t find it, homemade recipes are easy to follow and well worth the effort!

Can I make it dairy free?

You sure can! Swap the heavy cream for a rich coconut cream and use sweetened condensed coconut milk. It’ll still be luscious and dreamy—a dairy-free spin on Campfire Cola Dirty Soda.

Is there a way to make it less sweet?

Go easy on the sweetened condensed milk or use a touch less marshmallow and chocolate syrup for a lighter version. Adjust to taste until your Campfire Cola Dirty Soda is just right for you.

Can I make a big batch for parties?

For sure! Mix a large pitcher of Coke with the syrups and keep a jug of sweet cream on the side. Pour over fresh ice in each glass and top with sweet cream right before serving for the best effect.

Final Thoughts

If you’re searching for a nostalgic treat that feels like a hug in a glass, you’ve got to try Campfire Cola Dirty Soda. It’s as fun to make as it is to sip—perfect for sharing with friends or savoring solo. Go ahead, give it a try, and let the campfire vibes come to you!
