Apple Pie Dirty Soda is a refreshing and creamy beverage that combines chilled apple soda with rich half and half, vanilla and caramel syrups, and a touch of cinnamon. Topped with crushed graham crackers and optional whipped cream, this drink mimics the flavors of a classic apple pie in a bubbly, effervescent soda form perfect for a sweet treat or party indulgence.

Ingredients

Liquids

  • 1 cup chilled apple soda (like Apple Fanta or Martinelli’s sparkling apple juice)
  • 2 tablespoons half and half (cold)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup
  • 1 tablespoon caramel syrup

Spices and Toppings

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers (for topping)
  • Ice (enough to fill your cup, about 1 to 1½ cups)
  • Optional: whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Fill the Glass with Ice: Add enough ice to fill a tall glass (about 1 to 1½ cups of ice cubes). The glass should feel chilled to the touch to keep the drink fresh and cold.
  2. Pour in the Apple Soda: Slowly pour 1 cup of chilled apple soda over the ice. Let it settle to showcase the bubbles and keep the soda fizzy.
  3. Add the Apple Syrup: Gently pour apple syrup into the soda, allowing it to swirl and blend beautifully through the apple soda.
  4. Add Vanilla and Caramel Syrups: Add 1 tablespoon each of vanilla syrup and caramel syrup directly into the glass. Let these sweet flavors swirl and complement the apple soda base.
  5. Pour in Half and Half: Slowly pour 2 tablespoons of cold half and half into the glass. It should float and ripple, creating a creamy layer that enhances the apple pie flavor.
  6. Sprinkle Cinnamon: Evenly sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon on top of the creamy layer to add warmth and spice.
  7. Top with Graham Crackers and Optional Whipped Cream: Sprinkle 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers over the cinnamon for texture and flavor. Add whipped cream on top if desired, for extra richness and presentation.

Notes

  • Use cold ingredients to maintain the refreshing chill of the drink.
  • Graham cracker topping adds a nice crunch reminiscent of pie crust.
  • For a vegan version, substitute half and half with coconut cream or a plant-based creamer.
  • This drink is best served immediately to enjoy the carbonation and freshness.
