How to Make a Dirty Soda at Home (The Easy Way with QuickFIXX)

If you’ve been watching Secret Lives of Mormon Wives on Hulu—or scrolling through #DirtySodaTok—you’ve probably heard whispers about Utah moms and their dirty sodas. Suddenly, the internet wants to know: What’s a dirty soda? Why is everyone obsessed? And can I make one myself without living in Utah?

Spoiler alert: yes, you absolutely can. In fact, with QuickFIXX packets, it’s easier, cleaner, and way more fun than juggling bottles of syrup and cream at home.

This post will walk you through:

  • What dirty soda actually is

  • How to make one at home

  • Tried-and-true recipes with QuickFIXX flavors

  • Why QuickFIXX is the game-changer for recreating the Fixxology experience anywhere

What Exactly Is a Dirty Soda?

A dirty soda is basically your favorite soda—but dressed up with syrups, fruit flavors, cream, or lime. Think of it like the soda version of a fancy latte: indulgent, fun, and totally customizable.

The classic recipe looks something like this:

  • Diet Coke

  • Coconut syrup

  • Fresh lime

  • A splash of cream

That’s the one that made it famous in Utah. But dirty sodas don’t stop there—Dr. Pepper, Sprite, Mountain Dew, and even Squirt can all be transformed into a Fixx-worthy creation with the right flavor pairings.

And thanks to Hulu and TikTok, what used to be a regional mom-life ritual is suddenly a mainstream trend.

What You Need to Make a Dirty Soda at Home

Before QuickFIXX, making dirty sodas at home meant sticky syrup bottles, fridge space sacrificed to coconut creamer, and lots of guessing on ratios.

Now? You really just need four things:

  • Base soda (Diet Coke, Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew, 7-Up, Sprite, Squirt—you name it)

  • QuickFIXX packets (pre-balanced flavors made for mixing with soda)

  • Ice (bonus points if it’s pebble ice—because moms know the ice matters)

  • Optional add-ins: fresh lime wedges or a splash of cream

Step-by-Step: How to Make a Dirty Soda

  1. Fill your cup with ice. Pebble ice if you’ve got it—regular cubes if you don’t.

  2. Pour in your soda base. Leave about two inches of room at the top.

  3. Tear open your QuickFIXX packet. Stir it in for the perfect mix.

  4. Add extras. Cream or fresh lime if the recipe calls for it.

  5. Sip and enjoy. You’ve just made your first dirty soda. Welcome to the Fixx Girlie lifestyle.
