🥤 The Viral Dirty Soda? (+ How to Make Your Own!)

Okay, let’s talk about the drink that’s taken over TikTok, Utah, and now probably your Pinterest feed: Dirty Soda. If you haven’t heard of it yet, just know it’s the sweet, creamy, fizzy treat you never knew you needed.

Originally a regional fave from Utah (thanks, soda shops like Swig and Sodalicious 👋), this drink has gone totally viral—and for good reason. It’s customizable, crazy easy to make, and tastes like a soda shop indulgence without the drive-thru.

At its core, Dirty Soda is just soda + cream + flavor add-ins. That’s it! But the flavor combos are where things get magical. Think coconut, lime, vanilla, or fruit syrups swirling into your favorite cola or citrus soda. Add a splash of half & half or creamer, and boom: frothy, crave-worthy perfection.

How to Make a Dirty Soda

🍹 Tips for the Perfect Dirty Soda

✨ Why We Love It

It’s nostalgic. It’s fun. It’s totally customizable. Dirty Soda is basically the grown-up version of mixing random sodas at the gas station as a kid—only now it’s actually delicious. Plus, it’s a great non-alcoholic option for parties or girls' nights.
