Questions

What is Dirty Soda?

Cola topped with a splash of coconut cream, lime, and vanilla, the Utah soda-shop drink that went fully mainstream on TikTok in 2026. This reference files it under American non-alcoholic drink: made without cooking, rated easy and about 5 minutes start to finish.

Is there a substitute for coconut milk in Dirty Soda?

The entry for Dirty Soda calls for 1/4 cup coconut cream. In its place: Heavy cream or evaporated milk gives the same body without the coconut flavor. To stay dairy-free, blend soaked cashews with water until smooth.

Can I batch Dirty Soda for a group?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Halved, the cola drops from 4 cups to 2 cups; doubled, it is 8 cups. Every line in this entry carries its half and double quantity, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. To make a pitcher, multiply everything and stir over ice at the end.
