Dirty Pepsi: A Fun Twist on a Classic Favorite
If you’ve been anywhere near social media lately, you know that “dirty sodas” — fizzy drinks mixed with cream, syrups, and flavor add-ins — are all the rage. But why let other sodas have all the fun? It’s time for Pepsi to step into the spotlight with a rich, refreshing, and slightly indulgent twist: the Dirty Pepsi.
This version stays true to the creamy, flavorful tradition of a dirty soda while bringing Pepsi’s signature boldness to the forefront. It’s the perfect pick-me-up for an afternoon treat, a casual gathering, or just whenever you need a little extra something in your day.
Dirty Pepsi Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup chilled Pepsi
- 2 tablespoons coconut syrup
- 2 tablespoons half-and-half (or heavy cream, for a richer version)
- Ice
- Optional: a fresh lime wedge for garnish
Instructions:
- Fill a tall glass with ice.
- Pour the coconut syrup over the ice.
- Add the Pepsi, then gently pour the half-and-half over the top.
- Stir lightly — you want those creamy swirls to blend but still keep that beautiful, marbled look!
- Garnish with a fresh lime wedge for an optional citrusy pop.
Pro Tip: Want even more flavor? Swap out the coconut syrup for vanilla, cherry, or a splash of both to customize your Dirty Pepsi to your taste.
