The White Castle Dirty Drinks have been added to the brand's menu at participating locations as a range of refreshingly creamy beverage options perfect for consumers to try out this season.

The drinks play on the classic dirty soda recipe that consists of a soda base with creamer mixed in to give it a different kind of flavor and mouthfeel. The drinks come in the Dirty Orange and Dirty Lime Cola flavors, which are made with Fanta Orange soda and Coca-Cola Lime soda, respectively, with a splash of sweet cream mixed in.

The White Castle Dirty Drinks are launching alongside the returning Chicken Rings as well as a few additional menu updates that are taking place for spring to maximize flavor and value for consumers.
