This Texas favorite just got a little dirty!

There's nothing like an ice cold Dr. Pepper- unless it's a dirty Dr. Pepper! That's right, Dr. Pepper is dirty now and everyone loves it! It's actually referred to as a "dirty soda" and the trend has made it through several rounds on social media.

What is a dirty soda?

Dirty Soda has become quite popular on TikTok, but the OG's know that it's actually been a Utah favorite for years now. At first glance, it looks like a cold brew when you add creamer, but it's a soda.

There are a lot of varieties of Dirty Soda, but the original is a blend of cola, heavy cream, and flavored fruit syrup (usually coconut syrup). It's kind of like a melted root beer float. The cream and the fruit syrup act as the "spike", making the soda dirty, get it?

Not too long ago, Swig, the popular spot for dirty sodas, opened its first Texas location. And while lots of fans flocked to the location, others made their own at home. And now, Coffee Mate has made it easier than ever for you to create your own dirty soda at home because they just unveiled their coconut lime creamer made specifically for Dr. Pepper!

Now, obviously, you're not limited to just trying this with Dr. Pepper, you can try it with any of your favorite soft drinks- I'm a big fan of Dirty Sprite! And if you don't feel like making it yourself, Texas's favorite drink stop, Sonic Drive-In, also just launched their own dirty sodas! I highly recommend getting a slush and making it dirty!

Go ahead and get a little dirty, no judgement here!
