This Cherry Vanilla Dirty Coke is a creamy, soda shop-style drink made with Coca-Cola, cherry syrup, vanilla syrup, fresh lime, and heavy cream. Sweet, refreshing, and easy to make in minutes, it’s the perfect treat for parties, warm weather, or a fun homemade drink.

Ingredients

  • Ice
  • 12 oz Coca-Cola
  • ¾ oz cherry syrup
  • ½ oz vanilla syrup
  • 1 TBSP fresh lime juice (up to 2 TBSP if you prefer brighter flavor)
  • 2–3 oz heavy cream

Optional garnish: maraschino cherries or a lime wedge.

Instructions

  1. Fill a tall glass with ice.
  2. Pour the cherry syrup and vanilla syrup over the ice.
  3. Add the fresh lime juice.
  4. Slowly pour in the Coca-Cola to preserve carbonation.
  5. Gently pour the heavy cream over the top to create the signature swirl.
  6. Lightly stir if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

👉 Fresh lime juice balances the sweetness and keeps the drink from tasting overly heavy.

👉 For a lighter, lower-sugar version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream and use sugar-free syrups.

👉 Adjust the cherry syrup slightly depending on how bold you want the cherry flavor.

👉 Best enjoyed immediately while fully carbonated.
