I tried Scotland's first dirty soda shop Glasgow's Buchanan Galleries

Recently, Scotland's first spot selling dirty sodas opened up in the food court of Buchanan Galleries.

If you are confused by what that means, let me explain.

Dirty sodas are non-alcoholic beverages consisting of a fizzy drink base, mixed with different flavoured syrups, creams and fruit juices.

They became popular with the rise of the Hulu reality show, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which premiered in September 2024.

Since then, the internet has been gripped by the idea - and Glaswegians can now get their hands on the unique beverages.

American Dirty Soda serves all the tasty options, such as Coca Cola, Sprite, Dr Pepper, which you can mix with cream, butterscotch and more.

They also offer flavourings of all kinds, including cherry, mango, citrus, pineapple and any other you can think of.

There are several trusty drinks but you can also make your own concoction.

We had a Diet Coke with vanilla, raspberry and cream and a Dr Pepper with coconut, grapefruit and cream.

They were both delicious and refreshing and cost £5.50 each.

I was worried about the consistency at first, due to the cream but there were no issues with it.

Instead, the drink was a light, tasty treat at the end of the day.
