The Dirt Soda refreshment is an unlikely product for consumers to pick up when seeking a drink with an earthy flavor and effervescent profile. The drink is cheekily reported by the brand to be "Shoveled and Bottled" in the USA, but doesn't actually contain any real dirt but is instead favored with artificial flavors and pure cane sugar in a carbonated artesian spring water base. The soda is suitable for drinking straight, but could also be used as an unexpectedly earth addition to a premium cocktail for mixologists to use when looking to change up flavor experiences.
The Dirt Soda builds on the popularity of drinks like Coca-Cola that have an earthy flavor that are favored for their sweet, effervescent profile.
