Dirty soda is a customizable beverage made from soda, milk (or cream), and flavored syrups. It has gained popularity, especially in Utah, and has spread through social media.
What is Dirty Soda?
Dirty sodas emerged in the mid-2010s in Utah, becoming a craze throughout the state. The concept of mixing soda and cream isn't new, but the "dirty soda" became popular with Mormon moms, especially after the Church of Latter-Day Saints clarified in 2012 that sodas were not forbidden by their code. Soda stands like Swig and Sodalicious emerged in Utah, offering a variety of flavor combinations.
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 Soda with Milk Taste Like?
Dirty soda is sweet and creamy, with the flavor varying according to the specific combination. The texture is similar to a partially melted float made with soda and ice cream. It is fizzy, creamy, and sweet, which makes for a satisfying drink on hot days and cool evenings.

- Choose a soda base: While dark colas are popular, try orange soda for a creamsicle twist or lemon-lime for a refreshing option. Diet Coke is also a popular choice.
- Pour and mix: Pour the soda and milk (or coffee creamer) into a tall glass over ice.
- Top with cold foam: Stir it all together to blend the flavors and create a consistent texture.
Another way to make dirty soda is by mixing heavy cream into your choice of soda and ice, adding 1 to 2 pumps of flavoring. Coconut syrup and lime juice are popular options. Add real milk for natural electrolytes.
Variations of Dirty Soda
The possibilities are endless when it comes to flavor combinations. Try mixing different sodas with your choice of syrups, citrus, and cream. Here are a few ideas:
