Dirty soda is a soft drink **built to order** with flavoured syrups, cream and sometimes fruit puree or cold foam over ice. It started in Utah and spread nationally through social media.

The idea is that the drink is assembled for you rather than poured from a can.

## A classic example

**Dr. J** is Dr. Pepper, vanilla syrup and coconut cream — soda, syrup, cream, over ice. That is the whole shape of it. **Fancy Nancy** does the same with Coke, cherry syrup and vanilla cream, and **Sun and Moon** with Sprite, blue raspberry and pineapple.

## Where to try one

Sip Well is at 386 Main Street, inside Main Street Market in downtown Middletown — the only dirty soda counter in Middlesex County.
