Have You Tried The New ‘Dirty Soda’ Trend? Meet The Dr Pepper Twist

The internet has influenced some pretty crazy combinations over the years, but the new viral “Dirty Soda” trend has many soda drinkers jazzing up their afternoon Coke with unexpected ingredients like coconut, lime, and cream.

The trend has taken on many forms, but at its core, the recipe is carbonated soda with a splash of creamer, flavored syrups, and occasionally the addition of fruit. Even our favorite Oklahoma-based mix-and-match drink stop, SONIC, has taken up the torch, giving customers the option to “Make It Dirty” with the addition of the coconut-lime-cream combo to their favorite Route 44.

Now, the country’s oldest soft drink—Texas-born Dr Pepper—has teamed up with Coffee mate creamer so folks can try this unconventional recipe at home. The new Coffee mate Dirty Soda Coconut Lime Flavored Creamer combines notes of coconut and zesty lime ready to pour straight over a glass of Dr Pepper on ice. Seriously! 

Though it may sound a bit strange, the new #DirtySoda trend has hundreds of millions of fans vouching that this crisp, creamy treat deserves all the attention it’s getting. Imagine the creaminess of a thinner ice cream float with a little pizzazz—being Dr Pepper’s iconic 23 flavors—and you get the idea.

“Coffee mate is embracing exploration for any time of day,” said Leonardo Aizpuru, Nestlé Vice President of Brand Marketing for the Beverage Division and Business Unit. “We are excited to collaborate with Dr Pepper merging the worlds of coffee creamer and soda, making it easy to make the viral Dirty Soda trend that’s taken the world by storm.”

This unique creamer will only be available for a limited time, but is stocked on shelves nationwide at $3.29 for a 16-ounce bottle.

If you try this trendy treat and can’t quite get behind it, we recommend using your extra soda for our crowd-pleasing, always-in-style Dr Pepper Texas Sheet Cake.
