Looking with a discerning eye, it’s hard not to notice the growing popularity of “dirty soda” beverages. Originating in Utah, this trend has made its way onto menus across the nation, and even the globe. What started as a simple root beer float variation has now evolved into a full-fledged obsession.
St. George-based drink bar, Swig, is credited with popularizing these concoctions, leading to a surge in brands hopping on the bandwagon. Taco Bell has made dirty sodas a permanent menu item, Twizzlers introduced a limited-time coconut and lime vanilla straw inspired by the trend, and Dr. Pepper is bringing back their creamy coconut flavor. Dirty soda has truly become the flavor of the 2020s.
But the innovation doesn’t stop there. Mike’s Hard is shaking things up by infusing the classic vibe of dirty soda into their new Mike’s Dirty Lemonades. These boozy beverages boast smooth flavors like Pineapple Haze, Very Berry Grape, Dirty Lemon Secret, and Dark Cherry Brew, each with a 4.5 percent ABV for a relaxing sip after a long day or a casual hangout with friends.
Available in a 12-can variety pack at retailers like Kroger, Target, and Total Wine, Mike’s Dirty Lemonades have quickly captured the attention of eager fans. With many expressing their excitement to give them a try, it’s clear that these drinks are already making waves in the beverage scene. And while not everyone can partake (they are not gluten-free), those who can indulge are in for a uniquely refreshing experience.
This intriguing blend of flavors and textures has taken the beverage world by storm, offering a fresh take on a beloved classic. So, if you’re looking to elevate your drink game, consider adding Mike’s Dirty Lemonades to your list of must-tries. Cheers to the unexpected and the delicious in every sip!
