Ingredients

  • 12 fl oz

    Coke

  • 1

    packet of True Lime

  • 2 tbsp

    half & half, or your choice of creamer


  • Ice as needed


  • 1 tbsp

    coconut syrup

  • 1 1/2 fl oz

    Malibu Rum (Optional)


Directions

  1. Fill a large glass with ice (to your liking)
  2. Layer on the coconut syrup, True Lime, Coke, and half & half
  3. Stir well and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

You can sub the coconut syrup and half & half for 2 tbsp of coconut creamer. That way, the 'milk' won't instantly curdle from the lime.

Feel free to add a little spirits to your Dirty soda when layering in the coconut syrup and True Lime. It's technically against it's roots, but we won't tell if you don't!
