This quick and easy recipe combines rich vanilla ice cream, fizzy cola soda, and a splash of rum (white or spiced) for a perfectly balanced blend of creamy, fizzy, and spirited flavors. A drizzle of luscious chocolate syrup adds a decadent touch, while an optional mint garnish provides a refreshing pop of color.

Chill a tall glass in the freezer for 5-10 minutes to ensure your drink stays cold.
Add two generous scoops of vanilla ice cream to the bottom of the chilled glass.
Drizzle the chocolate syrup over the ice cream for a sweet, indulgent twist.
Pour in 2 fl oz of rum over the ice cream and chocolate syrup. Adjust the amount based on your taste preference.
Slowly top off the glass with 8 fl oz of cola soda. Pour carefully to prevent the soda from foaming over the rim.
Gently stir the drink once or twice to lightly blend the layers without losing the fizz.
Garnish with mint leaves for a fresh and decorative touch, if desired.
Serve immediately with a straw and a spoon to enjoy the perfect mix of creamy, fizzy, and boozy flavors.
