Gently pour in 2 ounces of vanilla creamer per glass. Watch as it cascades through the soda, creating dreamy pink swirls. - Serve
Garnish with whipped cream, sliced strawberries, or a fun straw. Serve immediately!
Tips for the Best Dirty Strawberry Soda
- Chill your glasses in the freezer for 10–15 minutes before making the drink.
- Experiment with creamers – vanilla is classic, but try white chocolate, coconut, or even hazelnut.
- Make it dairy-free by using almond, oat, or coconut-based creamers.
- DIY syrup option – simmer sugar, water, and fresh strawberries, then strain for a homemade syrup.
