MINNEAPOLIS, MN. JULY 08, 2026 – Let’s get dirty. As the dirty soda phenomenon moves beyond TikTok and goes mainstream—with soda giants Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, as well as McDonald’s and Dunkin joining the bandwagon—Bar Diver feels the trend might use a boozy, adult spike using their deluxe cream cocktails. And while we’re at it, let’s add a boozy, creamy kick to ice-cold cold brew coffee.
“There’s a lot to like about a dirty soda – the creamy richness, the carbonation is softened through the cream,” says Bar Diver® Cream Cocktails Founder Joe Heron, “and you can customize it however you want – espresso coffee, creamy strawberry, chocolate-mint…. But a little bit of alcohol adds some grown-up buzz and enjoyment. Spike the soda or cold brew, and get a little extra dirty.”
“We are very focused on our core strategy of New Users. New Occasions. Extended Seasonality. This slots right in in terms of bringing in younger drinkers, different consumption rituals from traditional cream liqueurs, and building into summer seasonality,” says Heron.
“The sheer variety of Bar Diver deluxe cream cocktails helps drinkers personalize a spiked dirty soda in so many ways,” says Herb Heneman, Partner and Chief Commercial Officer. “The chocolate-mint combo of the Grasshopper makes a spectacular Dirty Soda, not to mention a Dirty Mocha with coffee or over ice in cold brew. Strawberries & Cream and dirty cold brew is so summery indulgent, turbo your soda with an Espresso Martini coffee charge, and the Dirty Pepper is an everyday luxury treat in a glass. You deserve it,” says Heneman.
Bar Diver deluxe cream cocktails are 12.5% Alcohol By Volume and available in Total Wine, Liquor Barn/GoPuff, fine independent liquor stores, and quality bars and restaurants in the following states: MN, IA, WI, IL, MO, KS, OH, MI, PA, KY, TN, GA.
