Can I make this recipe non-dairy?

Absolutely! Use coconut cream instead of heavy cream and dairy-free whipped topping. The chocolate syrup and many cream sodas are already dairy-free, but check your labels to be sure. Substitute the Cadbury Creme Egg with a dairy-free chocolate candy.

What exactly is a "dirty soda"?

A dirty soda is a soft drink mixed with cream (usually heavy cream, half and half, or coconut cream) and flavored syrups. It originated in Utah and has become wildly popular on social media for its delicious taste and beautiful layered appearance.

Can I make this drink ahead of time for a party?

I don't recommend fully assembling these drinks in advance, as the cream will fully incorporate and the ice will dilute the drink. Instead, prepare your glasses with chocolate syrup, have the cream soda chilled, and set up an assembly station for guests or quickly make them just before serving.

Is there a way to make this less sweet?

Yes! Try using diet cream soda and reduce the amount of chocolate syrup. You can also skip the whipped cream topping and just enjoy the creamy soda base with a light drizzle of chocolate

Instructions

Prepare the Glass:
Drizzle ½ ounce of chocolate syrup into a tall glass. For an extra-special presentation, feel free to drizzle the syrup around the inner sides of the glass for a decorative look.
Add the Soda:
Pour 6 ounces of cream soda into the glass. The bubbly soda complements the richness of the other ingredients beautifully.
Fill with Ice:
Add enough ice to fill the glass, leaving about 1 inch of space below the rim. This ensures everything stays chilled while leaving space for the creamy layer and toppings.
Add the Cream:
Gently pour 1½ ounces of heavy cream over the ice. The cream will slowly blend into the soda, creating beautiful layers.
Garnish and Serve:
Top the drink with whipped cream, drizzle extra chocolate syrup over the top, and if desired, place a mini Cadbury Creme Egg as a garnish. Serve with a straw, stir gently, and enjoy this sweet indulgent treat!

Notes

For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate syrup instead of regular chocolate syrup.
Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less chocolate syrup depending on your preference.
You can experiment with caramel syrup as a drizzle for a slight variation in flavor.
Ensure the heavy cream is cold before pouring for the nicest layered effect.
