Campfire Cola Dirty Soda

This campfire cola dirty soda is a fun, fizzy, and creamy drink that I love making when I want a refreshing twist on a classic cola. With layers of creaminess, a touch of toasted marshmallow sweetness, and that fizzy bite, it tastes like a cozy campfire in a glass.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it’s simple to make yet feels special. The toasted marshmallow flavor pairs perfectly with the rich cola, while the cream adds smoothness. I also like that it’s easy to customize—I can make it sweeter, creamier, or even turn it into a float-style treat.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 1 can (12 oz) cola (regular or caffeine-free)

• 2 tablespoons toasted marshmallow syrup (or regular marshmallow syrup)

• 2 tablespoons half-and-half or heavy cream

• 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)

• Ice cubes

• Optional: whipped cream and mini marshmallows for garnish

Directions

1. I fill a tall glass with ice cubes.

2. I pour in the cola, then stir in the toasted marshmallow syrup and lime juice.

3. I slowly add the half-and-half (or heavy cream), stirring gently to blend.

4. I top with whipped cream and toasted mini marshmallows if I want to make it extra fun.

5. I serve immediately with a straw or spoon.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 1 serving and takes only about 5 minutes to prepare.

Variations

Sometimes I swap cola for root beer or Dr. Pepper for a different flavor base. I also like using coconut cream instead of half-and-half for a tropical twist. If I want it extra indulgent, I add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and turn it into a float.

Storage/Reheating

This drink is best enjoyed fresh, so I prepare it just before serving. I don’t store leftovers since the fizz and cream lose their texture over time.
