Creamsicle Dirty Soda (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ For the Drink

01 - 1 cup crushed ice
02 - 1 cup orange soda
03 - 1/4 cup half-and-half (or heavy cream for extra richness)
04 - 2 tbsp vanilla syrup

→ For Garnish

05 - Whipped cream (optional)
06 - Orange slices

# Instructions:

01 - Fill a tall glass with crushed ice, leaving a little room at the top for the whipped cream.
02 - Slowly pour the orange soda over the ice, allowing the bubbles to settle.
03 - Add the vanilla syrup to the soda and gently stir to combine. This creates the signature creamsicle flavor.
04 - Gently pour the half-and-half or heavy cream over the mixture. Stir lightly to create a marbled effect while keeping some of the cream separate.
05 - If desired, top with a swirl of whipped cream and garnish with a fresh orange slice on the rim of the glass.
06 - Serve with a straw and enjoy while the drink is cold and fizzy!

# Notes:

01 - Best enjoyed immediately while still fizzy
02 - For a less sweet version, use diet orange soda
03 - You can make your own vanilla syrup by combining equal parts sugar and water with a splash of vanilla extract
04 - For an adult version, add 1 oz of vanilla vodka
