Description
Experience the taste of the wasteland with this inspired nuka cola recipe, a fusion of flavors reminiscent of the iconic drink from the Fallout universe.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cola (standard store-bought works fine)
- 1/2 cup sarsaparilla or root beer
- 1/4 cup cherry juice or cherry soda
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Crushed ice
- Optional: a few drops of blue and red food coloring (to achieve that slightly irradiated look)
Instructions
- Fill a glass with crushed ice.
- In a mixing jug, combine cola, sarsaparilla or root beer, cherry juice, and vanilla extract. Stir well.
- If you want the iconic Nuka-Cola color, add a few drops of blue and red food coloring until you achieve a slightly off-cola hue.
- Pour the mixture over the crushed ice in the glass.
- Optional: Garnish with a cherry on top.
Notes
You can play with the ratios to find your preferred taste. Some might like a more pronounced cherry flavor, while others might prefer a dominant sarsaparilla note.
