What is Dirty Soda?

Dirty Soda is the name for a non-alcoholic mixed drink that originated in Utah and is now sold at specialty dirty soda shops across the country. The drink typically combines soda (regular and diet), coffee creamer, flavored syrups, lime juice/lemon juice, and pebble ice.

What You Need to Make Dirty Soda

• Coca-Cola
• Coffee Mate Coconut Cream Coffee Creamer
• 1 fresh Lime – to squeeze for Juice
• Pebble Ice
• Maraschino Cherries – to garnish
• 1 large Glass – 16 – 20 ounces

Can I use Diet Soda?

Yes! You can certainly use Diet Coke or even Coke Zero instead of regular Coke.

How can I use less sugar?

If you want to make this with lower sugar, you can swap the Coke for Coke Zero and you can use the Coffee Mate Coconut Cream Zero Sugar Coffee Creamer instead. You can also use a sugar-free coconut syrup instead of the creamer.

What other soda can I use?

The beauty of this recipe is, you can swap out the soda for any kind you’d like. You can use Diet Coke, Coke, Coke Zero, Vanilla Coke, Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew and even Cream Soda. Try this recipe with different flavor combinations to see what you like best.

Can I make this in large quantities?

Personally, I think this drink tastes best when it’s made on an individual level. You could just have several glasses ready, fill them all with ice and continue with the ingredients. That is exactly how it’s made at a drink shop so for best flavor, I’d make each glass individually.

What does a Dirty Soda Taste Like?

The best way I can describe it is, it tastes similar to an Italian Soda. It is carbonated and has the sweetness from the soda but also has a creamy, sweet flavor from the creamer.

How to Make Dirty Soda

Fill the glass about half way full with the ice cubes. 

Pour the Coke in the Glass, and fill about 3/4 full. 

Add a generous splash of the Coffee Creamer.

Cut the Lime in half, and squeeze a little in the Glass. 

Stir to blend, and add a Maraschino Cherry on top. 

Serve and Enjoy!
