Notes
For optimal enjoyment, ensure both the cola and chocolate syrup are thoroughly chilled before mixing. The key to a perfectly blended Chocolate Coke is gentle, thorough stirring; vigorously mixing can quickly dissipate the soda's effervescence. Consider adding the chocolate syrup first, then slowly pouring the cola over it to encourage natural mixing while preserving carbonation. A high-quality chocolate syrup will elevate the flavor profile. For an indulgent variation, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to create a classic chocolate coke float.
