From blood orange to coffee, cinnamon infusions to experimental fruit mixes, Coca-Cola has been there, and done that. Coca-Cola is the biggest-selling drink in history. However, it's not just the company getting creative. Around the world, Coke enthusiasts are stirring up their concoctions, turning a simple soda into a key ingredient for delightful recipes.
So if you're itching to bring a bit of flair into your glass, here are five Coca-Cola recipes that are bound to refresh your palate.
Roy Rodgers Mocktail
Let’s start with a classic homage to the "King of the Cowboys," Ray Rogers. This mocktail blends Coca-Cola with a dash of grenadine for a sweet twist, garnished with a cherry. Here's how: Fill a highball glass three-quarters with ice, pour grenadine over the ice, follow with Coke, and then garnish with a cherry. It's simplicity with a taste of old Hollywood charm.
Mickey Mouse
Perfect for kids and the young at heart, the Mickey Mouse cocktail is as whimsical as it sounds. To make it, fill a tall glass with ice, add Coca-Cola to about two-thirds, gently float a scoop of ice cream on top, and crown it with whipped cream and a cherry to mimic Mickey's ears. It's a sweet treat that’s sure to bring out smiles!
Lime Minimalism
For those who prefer to keep things simple yet crave a zestier version of their soda, Lime Minimalism is your go-to. Prepare lime juice ice cubes beforehand by freezing lime juice in ice cube moulds. When you’re ready, just toss these zesty cubes into a glass of chilled Coca-Cola for an instantly refreshing beverage.
Alcohol-free Malibu
Craving a tropical twist without the buzz? The Alcohol-free Malibu beckons. Shake a can of coconut milk and pour about 40-50 ml into a glass. Add ice cubes, top with chilled Coca-Cola, and stir gently. Enhance the tropical vibe by adding a lime wedge. For an indulgent version, top with a scoop of coconut or cream-flavoured ice cream and sprinkle with coconut shavings.
Double Bubble
This recipe is a fizzy fantasy for soda lovers. Start by pouring 40 ml of 7up into a tall glass. Place an orange slice inside to create a division, add ice cubes on top, and then splash in some lemon juice followed by cold Coca-Cola. It's a citrusy, bubbly blast that's both refreshing and invigorating.
