Dirty soda has gone from a quirky soft drink to an influence in cocktail culture, as fizzy, creamy spiked dirty soda recipes emerge. Now, [RumChata](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rumchata-pineapple-cream), the horchata-inspired liqueur made with Caribbean rum, real dairy cream, and cinnamon spice, is entering the conversation with a fresh way for adults to enjoy it.

With reality star, digital creator, and business owner Jessi Ngatikaura, RumChata introduced The "[Spiked](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiked-root-beer-float-ice-cream)" [Dirty Soda Squad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-dirty-drinks), a campaign inviting fans to put a spirited twist on viral dirty sodas. On social media, fans can share their go-to spiked dirty soda recipes. Although only one winner will get to bring two guests on a housewife-inspired trip to Salt Lake City—the birthplace of dirty soda—adults not chosen can make Jessi's Dirty Secret Soda at home with a mix of cola soda and a shot of RumChata.
