The "dirty soda" trend has taken social media by storm, bringing a unique twist to traditional soft drinks. Originating from soda shops in Utah, this viral concoction combines soda with cream, flavored syrups, and sometimes a splash of fruit juice, creating a creamy, sweet, and fizzy drink that's both indulgent and refreshing. What makes dirty soda so popular is its versatility—there's room to play around with flavors, add-ons, and even switch up the base soda!
– 1 cup cold cola (or any soda of your choice) – 1/4 cup coconut creamer (or regular cream) – 1-2 tablespoons flavored syrup (vanilla, coconut, or caramel) – 1/4 cup crushed ice – Splash of lime juice (optional) – Lime wedge, for garnish (optional)
Fill a tall glass with crushed ice. Pour the flavored syrup over the ice.
Add the coconut creamer (or your preferred cream) next. Slowly pour in the cold soda, letting it mix naturally with the syrup and cream. Stir gently to combine all the flavors.
Add a splash of lime juice if you want a hint of tanginess. Garnish with a lime wedge and enjoy your fizzy, creamy treat!
