I recently worked on a cocktail shoot, and one of the videos we did was for a dirty soda.  I had never had one, so afterwards I took a sip and OH MY WAS I OBSESSED.  I mean what’s not to like?  Some soda, some creamer and instant satisfying beverage. 

Ever since I introduced my family to my Gingerbread White Russian, it’s all they’ve been asking for, so I figured I’d make something for the youngsters and dry folk.  I tested this using many different sodas and root beer was the clear winner.
