Dirty Cherry-Vanilla Cream Cola

There’s something about cherry cola that never goes out of style, but this version takes it a step further.

This Dirty Cherry Vanilla Cream Cola layers bold cherry flavor with a smooth vanilla cold foam for a drink that feels both nostalgic and unique. It’s fizzy, creamy, and indulgent enough to blur the line between soda and dessert.

What Makes This Dirty Soda Different?

Unlike a traditional dirty soda that mixes everything together, this recipe builds contrast. You get a crisp, cherry-forward cola base, finished with a thick, velvety vanilla cold foam that slowly melts into the drink.

The result? A layered experience that starts bright and ends smooth.

Dirty Cherry-Vanilla Cream Cola 

Ingredients

Cherry Cola:

• 2 pumps Amoretti® Black Cherry Beverage Infusion
• 8 ounces prebiotic cola soda
• Ice
• Black or maraschino cherry, to garnish

Vanilla Cold Foam:

• 1 pump Amoretti® Crema Di Vanilla Syrup
• 2 tbsp heavy cream (or coconut cream)
• 1 tbsp whole milk (or coconut milk)
• 1/8 tsp or pinch of red beet powder

Directions

1. In a glass, combine the Black Cherry Beverage Infusion, cola, and ice. Gently stir together.
2. In a seperate glass, add the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla syrup, and red beet powder. Froth with a handheld frother until thick, creamy, and no chunks of powder remain.
3. Pour over top the cola and garnish with a cherry.
4. Enjoy!

Dairy-Free Swaps & Notes:

This drink is very easy to make dairy-free without losing the creamy, indulgent texture.

For the Vanilla Cold Foam:

• Swap heavy cream → full-fat coconut cream
• Swap whole milk → coconut milk or oat milk (barista blend works best)
• Swap the Amoretti® Crema Di Vanilla Syrup → Amoretti® Premium Vanilla Syrup

Tip:
Use chilled coconut cream (the thick part from a refrigerated can) for the best foam structure. Oat milk will create a lighter, more airy foam, while coconut cream gives a richer, denser topping. This will help hold up the cherry!
