Del Taco is getting in on the new dirty soda trend this holiday season with the launch of its new Dirty Del beverage.
If you're unfamiliar, dirty soda is a beverage that takes the soda of your choice (typically a cola, but the drink can also be made with root beer or citrus-flavored sodas) and adds cream, as well as flavored syrup. The drink has been popular for quite some time in Mormon communities, but has more recently been poping up on QSR menus at all the major fast food outlets.
Del Taco's take on the dirty soda trend is the Dirty Del, which is a seasonal beverage that combines Dr. Pepper soda with vanilla shake mix and a slice of fresh cut lime.
