"What is a dirty soda? Originating in Utah in 2010, "dirty soda" became a custom daytime drink made from a mix of name brand sodas and flavored syrups. The concept of making sweet, non-alcoholic concoctions became most popular within the Mormon community as rules against drinking alcohol or caffeine made soda the common base for creative and appropriate mixology. Shops like Swig, which just specialize in dirty soda, started to establish as drive-thrus all across the West Coast."
"While the drive-thru dirty soda shops of Utah have influenced many on social media, the trend has definitely made its mark on the East Coast too. Cool Sips, a three-store chain of dirty soda shops in New York City, has just expanded into Soho with a brand new location as of August 21. To celebrate the grand opening, Cool Sips is teaming up with Poppi to create three limited-edition drinks made with their creamy mix-ins and different flavors of the fan-favorite prebiotic soda."
Dirty soda began in Utah in 2010 as a daytime drink combining name-brand sodas with flavored syrups. The beverage gained traction in the Mormon community because prohibitions on alcohol and caffeine made soda the standard base for inventive nonalcoholic mixology. Drive-thru shops such as Swig helped spread the concept across the West Coast. Social media and a TV docuseries amplified interest and inspired home experimentation. Cool Sips launched as New York City's first standalone dirty soda shop and now operates three Manhattan locations. Cool Sips opened a Soho location at 156 Sullivan Street and partnered with Poppi for three limited-edition drinks and an exclusive pop-up with merch and prizes.
