What is Dirty Soda?

Dirty soda is a trendy way of making soft drinks fun by adding cream and sometimes flavored syrups. Dirty soda originated in Utah and has spread around the country thanks to Tik Tok, where Olivia Rodrigo made it popular. You can find dirty soda shops out the west, but here in New York, I have to make my own!

Dirty Diet Coke is the most popular flavor, but if you don’t want caffeine, you need alternatives! You can make dirty rootbeer, dirty strawberry soda, or this dirty orange soda pictured here.

You can customize this fizzy and creamy drink with many possible flavor combinations. Add in other flavors like fresh lime juice or coconut syrup. Or buy a bunch of sodas and have a dirty soda party by the pool!

The coffee cream (or cream) doesn’t mix entirely with soda until you stir it, which gives the drink its swirls of white contrasting colors.

What Does Dirty Soda Taste Like?

It tastes like soda with a little bit of ice cream added. The taste is similar to an ice cream float but not as rich because there is no ice cream. It also has similarities to an Italian soda, although those tend to be more fruity.

Can I Make Dirty Soda Alcoholic?

Yes, it makes an excellent mocktail and would also make a great mixed drink. I would use 1 ounce of vodka per glass to make this alcoholic.
