Coca Cola Burgers
Coca Cola Burgers consist of homemade beef burger patties with the Coca Cola soda as a key ingredient – providing a delicious sweetness and juiciness to the savory patties.
Assemble these Coca Cola patties on soft hamburger buns with your favorite toppings and enjoy at your next outdoor barbecue.
Recipe Notes:
- You can check that the hamburger patties are cooked through by inserting a food thermometer into the thickest section. It should register at 160F.
- Allowing the hamburger patties to rest for a few minutes after cooking will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, leaving you with super flavorful and juicy patties!
- I’ve made my beef patties from scratch, but you could use store-bought ground beef patties for convenience.
- Serve these burgers with French fries, coleslaw, or a simple green salad.

- Use different ground meat such as ground turkey, ground chicken, or ground pork.
- Whole wheat buns or brioche buns are excellent alternatives to traditional hamburger buns. You could even use lettuce to replace the buns for a low-carb option.
- Cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, or any other favorite cheese can replace the Parmesan cheese in this recipe.
- Use a different sauce instead of French dressing, such as BBQ sauce, mayonnaise, or a spicy sauce.
- Get creative with your preferred selection of toppings for these hamburgers. Consider sliced avocado, crispy bacon, jalapenos, or pickles!
Coca Cola Burgers
- Preheat the grill to high heat, 450 to 500 degrees F.

- Divide the meat mixture into 12 portions and shape into burgers.
- Mix the remaining soda and salad dressing.
- Place the burgers on the grill and cook for 8 to 9 minutes, flipping halfway. Just prior to removing from the grill, brush one side of the burger patties with the soda mixture. Flip the burgers and brush the second side with the soda mixture. Flip the burger again and cook until the sauce is caramelized.
- Serve the burgers on buns with lettuce, tomatoes, onion, and pickles.
