Modern all-American breakfast and lunch franchise concept The Big Biscuit debuted Western Sodas, a new line of soda-based mocktails "spiked" with coconut cream and lime. Some of the flavorful varieties on offer include The Stallion (Dr Pepper, coconut cream and lime,) and Orange Creamsicle (Orange Crush, coconut cream and lime.) The Big Biscuit is also offering a Build-Your-Own option to customize any fountain soda.
The rise of dirty sodas beyond their birthplace in Utah has captivated a broader audience with the allure of alcohol-free concoctions that blend soda with cream, syrups and fruit flavors. Although many people reduced their consumption of soda due to health concerns over high sugar content and artificial ingredients, creamy-sweet sodas are winning back consumers by offering a nostalgic, indulgent alternative to traditional sodas and alcohol.
