Dirty Soda

  1. A customized fountain soda mixed with syrups, creams, and fruit — a signature of Utah's soda-shop culture.

Because most Latter-day Saints don't drink coffee or alcohol, elaborate sodas became a social staple, and drive-through "soda shops" (like Swig) spread across Utah. A "dirty" Diet Coke with coconut cream is a classic.
