Dirty Strawberry Soda Recipe

Introduction

Dirty Strawberry Soda is a fun and refreshing drink that combines the sweetness of strawberry syrup with the fizz of soda and a creamy finish. It’s a perfect treat for warm days or a tasty twist to your usual beverages.

Ingredients

• Strawberry syrup (about 2 tablespoons)
• Soda (8 ounces, chilled)
• Cream (1 to 2 tablespoons)
• Ice cubes

Instructions

1. Step 1: Fill a glass with ice cubes to chill the drink properly.
2. Step 2: Pour the strawberry syrup over the ice, allowing it to start mixing naturally.
3. Step 3: Slowly add the chilled soda to the glass, filling it nearly to the top.
4. Step 4: Gently pour the cream over the soda to create a rich, “dirty” effect and stir lightly if desired.

Tips & Variations

• For a dairy-free option, substitute cream with coconut milk or almond milk for a different flavor.
• Use homemade strawberry syrup with fresh strawberries for a fresher taste.
• Add a splash of vanilla extract to the cream for extra richness and aroma.

Storage

This drink is best enjoyed immediately to keep the soda fizzy and the cream fresh. If you want to prepare elements ahead, store strawberry syrup separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Do not store the mixed soda and cream as it will lose carbonation and freshness quickly.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use sparkling water instead of soda?

Yes, sparkling water works well as a substitute, especially if you want a less sweet or calorie-friendly option. Just be sure to adjust the syrup amount to maintain the desired sweetness.

How do I make homemade strawberry syrup?

Combine fresh strawberries, sugar, and water in a saucepan and simmer until the strawberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Strain out solids and cool before using. This natural syrup will add a vibrant flavor to your dirty strawberry soda.
