Iced dirty soda with cream swirl and a Matteo's syrup bottle

What is a dirty soda?

A dirty soda is a refreshing, customizable drink made by combining soda with flavored syrup and a splash of cream. The cream 'dirties' the soda, creating a rich, indulgent texture. It's a fun, barista-style beverage you can make at home.

01

Fill a tall glass with ice and 12 oz of soda

02

Add 1–2 pumps (½–1 oz) of Matteo's syrup

03

Top with a splash of cream or half-and-half, stir gently

Dairy-free? Coconut, oat, or almond cream all work.
