Introduction

Butter Scotch Bliss Dirty Soda is a delightful, creamy twist on a classic root beer float. Combining the rich flavors of butterscotch syrup, sweet cream, and fizzy root beer, this refreshing drink is perfect for warm days or any time you want a sweet treat with a bubbly kick.

Two tall clear glasses with three visible layers each sit on a white marbled surface. The bottom layer is dark brown, almost black, with a liquid texture; the middle layer is creamy white, swirling up and mixing with the dark layer; the top layer is a thick white foam with orange shreds sprinkled on top. Each glass has a paper straw with white and beige stripes. The background is softly blurred with the same white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 cups cold root beer
4 tablespoons butterscotch syrup
½ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
Ice (enough to fill 2 glasses)

Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl or cup, stir together the heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Fill two tall glasses to the top with fresh ice cubes.
Step 3: Pour 1 cup of cold root beer into each glass over the ice. Let the foam settle for a moment.
Step 4: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of butterscotch syrup into each glass. Allow it to settle at the bottom for a sweet surprise.
Step 5: Gently pour the sweet cream mixture on top of each drink, letting it swirl naturally to create a layered effect.
Step 6: Serve immediately with a straw or a long spoon. Enjoy sipping the layers or gently swirl before drinking.

Tips & Variations

Use chilled root beer and cream to maintain the drink’s layers and prevent quick melting.
For a vanilla twist, add a splash of vanilla extract to the sweet cream mixture.
Try substituting the root beer with cream soda for a different but equally delicious flavor.

Storage

Butter Scotch Bliss Dirty Soda is best enjoyed fresh due to its creamy and fizzy nature. If you have leftovers, store the components separately: refrigerate the sweet cream mixture and root beer in sealed containers for up to 2 days. Reassemble and serve chilled, but note that the soda will lose some carbonation.

How to Serve

A clear glass filled with a dark brown and creamy beige swirled drink showing a mix of coffee and cream layers at the bottom, topped with a thick, smooth, light beige foam layer that is being added with a spoon above, all placed on a white marbled surface. The spoon, held by an unseen woman’s hand, pours more creamy foam creating soft swirls on top of the drink. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make this drink dairy-free?

Yes, you can substitute heavy cream with a dairy-free alternative like coconut cream and use a sweetened condensed coconut milk to keep the creamy texture.

What kind of root beer works best for this recipe?

A craft or natural root beer with strong vanilla and spice notes works best to complement the butterscotch and creamy flavors. Avoid overly sweetened or artificially flavored brands for balance.
