Notes
Tips to Make the Best Colorado Bulldog
- Pour the cola last and slowly. It keeps the fizz steady and prevents the cream from curdling.
- For a fun dessert twist, swap the cream for vanilla ice cream or use vanilla vodka.
- If we layer the cream before stirring, it gives the drink that classic float look.
- Avoid stirring too hard. A gentle mix keeps the texture silky and the top nice and foamy.
