Try a Creamy Dirty Soda With Milk
This summer, try a creamy dirty soda made with real milk. The trendy concoction may become your favorite summer treat.
Dirty sodas first went mainstream in 2022 thanks to TikTok. Dirty sodas are a combination of soda, coffee creamer or cream, and flavored syrups. Unlike Italian sodas, which combine flavored syrups with club soda, dirty sodas use flavored sodas and include additional add-ins like fruit or candy. What was once a sweet treat for Westerners who abstain from alcohol and caffeine is now a treat for everyone.
What Are Dirty Sodas?
In the mid-2010s, dirty sodas started appearing as a menu offering all over Utah before becoming a craze across the state. In today’s world, though, nothing stays regional once it makes its way onto social media. In early 2022, dirty sodas began trending on TikTok, with many users looking for an explanation on what dirty soda is, what the milk and soda combination tastes like, and how to customize the flavors for the ultimate sip.
What is in a Dirty Soda?
The original dirty soda used Diet Coke over ice, coconut syrup, lime juice, and half-and-half. Since then, the dirty soda has expanded to an ever-growing menu as large as the offerings of your favorite coffee shop. (Yes, like coffee or frozen yogurt, there are stores dedicated to dirty soda offerings.)
Dirty soda is enjoyed in the same way you choose to enjoy your treat of choice, like coffee or ice cream. It can be part of everyday life as a little treat, but it also fits into special occasions like family outings.
What Does Dirty Soda Taste Like?
We have seen unusual combinations like soda and balsamic vinegar or soda and milk. Whenever these reach users’ feeds, the first question is always the most important question you can ask: Does it taste good?
Dirty soda is sweet and creamy. While the flavor varies according to the combination you choose, it is a treat to customize and enjoy whenever. If the texture is of concern to you, consider the experience of sipping on partially melted floats you make with your choice of soda and ice cream. It is fizzy, creamy, and oh so sweet—a satisfying sip that you crave on hot days and cool evenings alike. The concept of a dirty soda is like a float, with the same creamy texture from the milk.
Do not be afraid to experiment. While dark colas are a popular choice for dirty sodas, try orange soda for a twist on the classic creamsicle or lemon-lime for a light, refreshing option.
How Can I Make Dirty Soda?
We have an easy dirty soda recipe so you can try the trend in three easy steps. Choose a soda base. Pour your chosen soda and milk into a tall glass over ice. Top with cold foam. Make sure to stir it all together so blend the flavors and create a consistent texture.
However, once you have adjusted to the idea of drinking creamy soda, try other variations to see what your favorite prep is. Another way to make the trendy drink is by mixing heavy cream into your choice of soda and ice. Add 1 to 2 pumps of flavoring. Coconut syrup and lime juice are popular options.
And don’t forget the milk or cream. Add real milk for natural electrolytes to help you stay hydrated and energized! Staying hydrated each day is an important and popular goal. Enjoy a dirty soda without hurting your chances of reaching your daily goal.
