🥣How to Make Dirty Strawberry Soda
- Start by filling two glasses with ice. And not just a cube or two – load them up!
- Grab that strawberry syrup and drizzle it around the inside of the glass over the ice.
- Pour 8 ounces of strawberry soda into each glass. Watch it fizz and mingle with the syrup.
- Gently pour two ounces of vanilla coffee creamer into each glass. The creamer will cascade through the soda, creating swirls that are mesmerizing. Take a moment to appreciate them.
🍴Serving Ideas
You’ve whipped up this delightful Dirty Strawberry Soda; now it’s time to serve it with a splash of style. Here are some fun ideas to take your soda-sipping experience to the next level.
Impress your guests or treat yourself by serving the soda in fancy glasses. A tall flute or a mason jar with a handle? Why not! It’s about making those ordinary moments feel more special.
Add a fresh strawberry on the rim, a sprig of mint, a colorful straw, or even a colorful paper umbrella for that extra wow factor. Serve this soda alongside a slice of cheesecake or a bowl of vanilla ice cream. The combination of creamy and fizzy is a match made in dessert heaven.
💭How to Store
Dirty Strawberry Soda is best enjoyed fresh. But if you’ve already added the creamer, pop it in the fridge. It’ll stay good for a couple of hours.
Want to prep for a party? Mix the syrup and soda and keep it chilled. Add the ice and creamer just before serving to keep that fizzy magic alive.
⭐Tips
Be sure to check out the step by step instructions
- Pop those glasses in the freezer for about 15 minutes before you start. A frosty glass ensures an extra-cold, extra-refreshing sip every time.
- Vanilla creamer is classic, but be bold and experiment with other flavors of coffee creamer. I mean, I probably wouldn’t try pumpkin spice creamer with strawberry soda, but white chocolate raspberry sounds delicious.
- When adding the strawberry syrup, aim for a slow drizzle. It’s not just about taste – you want a beautiful gradient effect where the syrup settles at the bottom.
📝Reader Questions
Can I make this drink dairy-free?
Sure. There are plenty of non-dairy vanilla creamers out there that will work just as well. Almond, soy, or coconut-based creamers work and will give your soda a creamy touch.
What if I don’t have strawberry syrup?
If you don’t have strawberry syrup, you can make a quick substitute by heating equal parts of sugar and water with some mashed strawberries. Strain it, and you’ve got yourself a homemade syrup.
Is this drink kid-friendly?
Sure. Kids will love the fun colors and fizzy sweetness. If your kids don’t like coffee creamer, try milk or a milk substitute instead.
