What Is Dirty Soda?

A dirty soda is a non-alcoholic drink that combines soda with flavored syrups, cream or coffee creamer, and sometimes fresh fruit juice or lime. It originated in Utah and became especially popular in the Western U.S.

Can I use a different type of soda?

Yes! You can use any soda you prefer, such as Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper, orange soda and Diet Coke. But to be honest, you can use just about any soda flavor. 

Can I substitute the coconut cream for coffee creamer?

Absolutely! If you don’t have coconut creamer, you can use regular coffee creamer, heavy cream, or even a dairy-free alternative like almond milk or oat milk. You can also use flavored creamers like vanilla cream or any of your favorite flavor creamers when you are making this recipe.

Is the vanilla syrup necessary?

The vanilla syrup adds extra sweetness and flavor, but it’s optional. If you prefer a less sweet drink, you can skip it or substitute it with a splash of vanilla extract or sugar-free vanilla syrup. You can also change up the flavor of syrup you are using and use coconut syrup, raspberry syrup, or other flavors.

Can I make Sugar Free Dirty Soda?

If you want to make this sugar-free, use sugar-free flavored syrups, sugar-free coconut milk, and diet sugar-free soda.

Can I make this drink less sweet?

Yes! To reduce the sweetness, use less vanilla syrup or switch to a diet soda (like Diet Coke). You can also use less coconut cream coffee creamer.

Can I make this drink ahead of time?

It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare the lime juice and coconut cream mixture beforehand. Just add the soda, ice, and vanilla syrup right before serving to keep it fizzy.

Can I make this a non-carbonated drink?

Yes! If you prefer a non-fizzy version, replace the soda with iced tea or a flavored water of your choice.

What if I don’t like lime?

If lime isn’t your thing, you can swap it for lemon or a splash of orange juice or fruit purees like strawberry puree or berry puree for a different fruit flavor.

How do I make this drink less creamy?

To make it less creamy, use less coconut cream coffee creamer. You can also use a lighter version of the creamer.

Can I add alcohol to this recipe?

Yes, if you’d like to make an boozy version, you can add a shot of rum, vodka, or coconut-flavored liqueur to give it a tropical twist!
