“Dirty” Soda Recipe

Mocktails are all the rage recently, and for good reason! This “Dirty” Soda recipe is a real treat for all ages to enjoy and takes the headache out of festive occasions.

Don’t let the name scare you, the addition of cream is what gives it the “Dirty” name. The best thing about it is that you can flavor it however you like, so the possibilities are truly endless. Part of the fun is experimenting and seeing what concoctions you come up with!

This drink would be prefect for a Christmas Eve or New Years Eve celebration with the family! The syrup adds sweetness, the soda adds just the right amount of fizz and Turner’s Half & Half balances those flavors with a smooth creaminess factor.

You could also use Turner’s Heavy Cream for a more indulgent flavor, and experiment with other sodas like Coke or Dr. Pepper to pack even more of a punch. This particular recipe is reminiscent of a Shirley Temple, which really takes me back to my childhood.

Just because it’s booze-free doesn’t mean it has to be boring! Adding a festive straw and fruit garnish really takes the drink experience up a level. Here’s how to make a quintessential “Dirty” Soda!

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp flavored syrup (I used Vanilla)
• 1 tbsp maraschino cherry juice (optional)
• 1 cup ice
• 16oz club soda (or sparkling water)
• 1 tbsp Turner’s Half & Half
• maraschino cherries to garnish

Instructions:
