For those unfamiliar with the craze sweeping TikTok, ‘Dirty Soda’ is a delightful twist on your favorite soda. It’s a concoction of soda, flavored syrups, and cream, offering a symphony of sweet and creamy indulgence. The trend, according to Swig, the self-proclaimed ‘home of the original dirty soda,’ started with a simple splash of coconut in a soda.
Since then, the world of Dirty Soda has exploded. Shops across the country offer pre-fixed menu items and a variety of syrups and creamers, allowing customers to customize their drinks to their heart’s content. The beauty of Dirty Soda lies in its adaptability: you can experiment with different flavors and combinations to create your own unique masterpiece.
Recently, while visiting family in the soda shop haven of Salt Lake City, Utah, I couldn’t resist indulging in this trend. I knew it was a treat best enjoyed with a healthy dose of self-awareness, but sometimes, you just have to embrace the fun!
My experience with Dirty Soda was a revelation. I understood why people were so enamored with these drinks. The combination of sweet, creamy, and fizzy was irresistible. While I wouldn’t recommend making this a daily habit, it’s a delicious treat that I’d happily indulge in again.
The next time I’m in Salt Lake City, I’ll definitely be visiting Swig again. It’s more than just a drink; it’s an experience.
