What Is a Dirty Dr Pepper?
Dirty sodas are fizzy drinks like Coke, Pepsi, or Dr Pepper that are customized with flavored syrups, creams, fruit juices, or even purees. The trend started in Utah, where soda shops serve these sweet, bubbly concoctions as an alternative to coffee.
The Banana Split Dirty Dr Pepper takes it a step further. It layers in the flavor of a banana split sundae—without melting ice cream! It’s dessert in a drink, and your taste buds are going to love every sip.
