Description

The Midnight Malibu Dirty Soda is a refreshing, creamy, and tropical-inspired beverage combining cola with coconut cream, lime juice, vanilla, and a splash of cherry or blackberry syrup for a unique midnight twist. This easy-to-make soda cocktail can be enjoyed as a non-alcoholic treat or elevated with Malibu coconut rum for an adult version, garnished with a lime wheel and maraschino cherry for a perfect sip any time of the day.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • Ice (lots of it)
  • 1 cup cola (Coke or Pepsi)
  • 2–3 tbsp coconut cream (or coconut coffee creamer)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Splash of cherry syrup or blackberry syrup (for the “midnight” twist)

Optional Alcohol

  • 1–1½ oz Malibu coconut rum

Garnish

  • Lime wheel
  • Maraschino cherry

Instructions

  1. Fill the glass: Fill a glass with plenty of ice, as the crunchier the ice, the more refreshing the drink will be.
  2. Add the cola: Pour 1 cup of your choice of cola into the glass, leaving some space at the top to add the other ingredients.
  3. Mix the creamy ingredients: Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of coconut cream or coconut coffee creamer, 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice, ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a splash of cherry or blackberry syrup to give the drink its signature “midnight” flavor.
  4. Add the rum (optional): If making the adult version, pour in 1 to 1½ ounces of Malibu coconut rum for a tropical, boozy kick.
  5. Stir gently: Stir the mixture gently, allowing the ingredients to marble instead of fully mixing, creating a visually appealing layered effect and maintaining the texture of the creamy soda.
  6. Garnish and serve: Garnish with a lime wheel and a maraschino cherry, then sip immediately to enjoy the best flavor and chill.

Notes

  • Use fresh lime juice for the best bright citrus flavor.
  • If you prefer a less sweet drink, reduce the amount of cherry or blackberry syrup.
  • The coconut cream gives the soda its creamy texture—coconut coffee creamer is a convenient substitute.
  • Adjust the amount of Malibu rum to taste, or omit entirely for a non-alcoholic version.
  • Serve immediately over plenty of ice to keep the soda cold and refreshing.
