Tips, Tricks and FAQs

  • There are so many dirty sodas you can try! Try with Dr. Pepper or Pepsi if you’d like. 
  • It is best to keep the soda, half and half, and sweetened lime syrup in the fridge so that your drink is nice and cold.
  • Serve it over ice if you prefer. 
  • I know it says there is a serving size of two, but no one is judging if you drink both. I do!

Storage

You will want to enjoy these as soon as they are made. Soda does not keep well, especially if it is over ice. If you prefer to save it for later, then place it in the fridge and enjoy it later!
