What do you put in a dirty soda?

A dirty soda typically includes a base soda (like Coke, Dr Pepper, or Sprite), a flavored syrup (such as coconut, vanilla, or cherry), a splash of citrus juice (usually lime), and something creamy—usually half-and-half, coconut cream, or even coffee creamer. These ingredients mix to create a sweet, tangy, and creamy soda that’s full of flavor.

What is the most popular dirty soda?

The most popular dirty soda is the classic Dirty Diet Coke made with Diet Coke, coconut syrup, lime juice, and half-and-half. It's the original combo that started the Utah soda craze and remains a fan favorite at places like Swig and Sodalicious.

How to make Dirty Dr Pepper at home?

To make a Dirty Dr Pepper, combine 12 oz Dr Pepper, 1 tbsp coconut syrup, 1 tbsp vanilla syrup, a squeeze of lime, and 2 tbsp coconut cream or half-and-half. Stir gently over ice and serve chilled. It's one of the most flavorful dirty soda recipes and incredibly easy to recreate in your own kitchen.
