What Is a Good Dirty Soda Recipe? (Fixxology-Approved Favorites)

If you’ve scrolled TikTok lately, you’ve probably seen moms mixing up fizzy drinks with coconut, lime, or cream—and calling them dirty sodas. They’ve been a favorite in Utah for years, and now everyone’s looking for the best recipes to try at home.

So what counts as a good dirty soda recipe? It’s all about balance: the right soda base, the right flavor mix, and a little fun. Some combos are light and fruity, while others are creamy and dessert-like. And with QuickFIXX packets, you don’t have to guess—you can recreate Fixxology’s fan-favorite recipes in seconds.

The Anatomy of a Good Dirty Soda

Every delicious dirty soda has three key parts:

  1. A strong soda base – Diet Coke, Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew, or 7-Up are the classics.

  2. A flavor profile that works with it – coconut + lime, raspberry + cream, peach + pineapple.

  3. Balance. Too much syrup? It’s cloying. Too much cream? It feels heavy. That’s why QuickFIXX is a game-changer—the ratios are already perfected.
