What is a Dirty Soda?

If you haven’t heard of the dirty soda trend, you are in for a treat. The popularity of this drink reminds me of how much we loved Shirley Temples or Orange Julius growing up!
My daughter has a slight obsession with TikTok and asked if I could make a dirty Dr. Pepper for her.

I’m not a soda drinker, but she absolutely loves this drink! The dirty soda first originated in Utah and thanks to TikTok has been gaining traction across the United States.

The great thing is if you aren’t a fan of Dr. Pepper you can mix your favorite soda to customize your own drink.

Here are the basic ingredients of a dirty soda:

  1. Base Soda: The main ingredient is a regular soda, such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, or root beer.
  2. Flavor Syrups: These can be fruit syrups, vanilla, coconut, or other flavored syrups.
  3. Creamers: Sweetened condensed milk, coffee creamer, or heavy cream is often added to give the drink a creamy texture.
  4. Additional Mix-ins: These can include fruit juices, lime or lemon slices, maraschino cherries, or even whipped cream on top.

Dirty sodas are often served over ice and are a popular non-alcoholic drink that both kids and adults can enjoy.
