Dirty Soda is the internet’s favorite fizzy drink that turns ordinary soda into something creamy, dreamy, and totally crave-worthy. Made famous by TikTok and Utah soda shops like Swig and Sodalicious, dirty soda combines a base soda (like orange soda or cola) with sweet cream, flavored syrups, or fruit. The version we’re making today tastes just like an orange creamsicle—thanks to bright orange soda and a splash of vanilla coffee creamer. It takes less than five minutes to whip up and is guaranteed to wow kids and adults alike. You’ll never look at plain soda the same again!
