Move, Coca-Cola is floating! This “dirty soda” with coconut cream is the new drink in town; here is the recipe

If you’re a soda lover, you’ve probably heard the buzz surrounding “dirty sodas,” the unique soft drink variant that first gained global attention after Hulu’s premiere The Secret Life of Mormon Wives. The show follows a group of influential Mormons in Salt Lake City, Utah, who engage in a sex scandal, but a trend toward dirty soda has caught the public’s attention.

Dirty sodas are a popular Utah product that mixes soft drinks with flavored syrups or creamers, and they’ve been a favorite treat for decades. These sweet concoctions usually combine fizzy drinks with a splash of something creamy or indulgent, turning an ordinary drink into a decadent experience. Across India and Pakistan, a similar concept called “dood soda” has long been popular. In this drink, the mix of lemon-lime soda and milk creates a strange yet refreshing experience. It’s frothy, milky and a little spicy, offering a hint of the traditional sodas you know and love.

In fact, if you like to create unique drinks at home, dirty sodas can be a fun addition to your repertoire. Chef Saloni Kukreya is a fan and even shared a detailed recipe for her take on the dirty soda in a popular video. If you’re hosting a house party this holiday season or just looking for a new drink to try, this could be the perfect recipe. Here’s how to make your own:

Ingredients: 3/4 can Diet Coke, 1/4 cup coconut cream, 1/2 tablespoon lime juice, plenty of ice

Instructions: Begin by pouring Diet Coke into a glass filled with ice. Add the coconut cream and lime juice, but don’t shake – just mix everything together. The result? Creamy, effervescent and refreshing drink with the most unusual taste! Whether you’re in the mood for something delicious or just want to try soda in a new way, this dirty soda recipe is sure to please!
