I used to buy these sodas called "Java Pop" from Biglots (kind of an overstock outlet).<br />
It was actually pretty good! They had espresso, vanilla bean, mocha, and some other flavor that escapes me at the moment.<br />
<br />
It tasted a little like they used the syrup used in monster java energy, except alot more natural and alot less nasty.<br />
<br />
So yeah, it wasn't something you'd approach with any kind of espresso puritanism, but for a coffee-ish soda alternative it was…

Nice try though, glad you gave it a go. I totally forgot to do this myself.<br />
<br />
When I did my egg-cream knockoff, I combined the cream and chocolate first, then topped with seltzer. My first inclination would be to combine the espresso with the cream and chocolate. Let's hope that my short term memory works better this week...<br />

it sounds crazy, but the tradition of hot dr pepper is an old one.<br />

Believe it or not it does retain quite a bit of the carbonation. deffinitely enough to make for an interesting interaction between the cream and the fizz. the fruity dr pepper with loads of cherry and vanilla can be an amazing combination with the right espresso blend.<br />

Just did the espresso and Red Bull. That's a heck of a thing. I guess I can see why people would want to do it, the hardcore caffeine junkies would flip on this, but it really doesn't have a lot of appeal. I would do it again, given I didn't pay for the Red Bull, but would I order it? No.

There are a few videos that Baileys just released on facebook. There is one called a Sweet and Spicy Cola Flip. It looks pretty good (minus the egg) but I think that it is a good combo otherwise. Plus Freddy is just fun to watch :)<br />

At the caffe i work at we have something called a "mela bomb" where you just drop an espresso shot in to a glass of red bull and chug it. honestly i havent worked up the nerve to try it but its semi popular over here.
