Equipment
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Clear plastic cup or drinking glass
- Black permanent marker
- Milk frother or whisk
- Small cup
Ingredients
- 1 7.5-ounce can orange soda
- Ice
- 2 tablespoons half-and-half
- 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup
Instructions
- Using a black permanent marker, draw a jack-o’-lantern face on the outside of a clear plastic cup.
- Fill the cup with ice, then pour in the orange soda, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top.
- In a separate cup, combine the half-and-half and vanilla syrup.
- Using a milk frother or whisk, froth the mixture until foamy but still pourable.
- Pour the vanilla cold foam over the orange soda.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Keep the permanent marker on the outside of the cup and away from the rim.
- A regular drinking glass can be used instead of a plastic cup. Test the marker on a small area first, especially on painted, coated, or specialty glassware. A little hand sanitizer should remove it from the glass.
- If using vanilla coffee creamer instead of half-and-half, reduce or omit the vanilla syrup since flavored creamer is already sweetened.
- For parties, draw the jack-o’-lantern faces on the cups ahead of time, but wait to assemble the drinks until you're ready to serve.
- Jack-O’-Lantern Dirty Soda is best enjoyed immediately while the soda is carbonated and the cold foam is fresh.
