Dirty soda is Utah’s answer to coffee shop culture … creamy, fizzy, ice-cold, and completely alcohol-free. Born in the heart of Mormon culture where traditional caffeine drinks like coffee and alcohol are often avoided, this indulgent soda mocktail blends carbonated soda with flavored syrups, lime juice, and cream for a drink that’s sweet, frothy, and endlessly customizable. The first dirty soda shop, Swig, launched the trend in 2010, and now stores across Utah and beyond offer cult-favorite combos with names like “Tiki Beach Bum” and “Rodeo Raspberry.” In this guide, you’ll learn the classic dirty soda recipe (Diet Coke, coconut syrup, lime, and half-and-half) and how to easily twist it with fun variations at home. Whether you’re skipping coffee or just want a unique summer drink, dirty soda hits that creamy, craveable sweet spot.
