Can I skip the alcohol?

Definitely. You can use coconut-flavored sparkling water or a splash of coconut extract with soda water instead. It still tastes tropical and bright—great if you want something fun without the alcohol.

Yes, as long as you're using unsweetened coconut rum and plain soda water, you're in the clear. There's no added sugar, and it fits right into a low-carb or keto lifestyle.

How many calories does it have?

Most versions stay under 100 calories, especially if you skip any cream or sweetener. If you're keeping things extra light, just stick to coconut extract and soda water.

What can I use instead of soda water?

Any unflavored sparkling water will do the trick. Just steer clear of tonic water or anything sweetened—they’ll change the flavor and add carbs.

You can prep the lime juice and measure out the rum ahead of time. But hold off on adding the soda until you’re ready to serve. That way, it stays fizzy and fresh—especially if you're making it for a Mother’s Day or 4th of July get-together.

What makes it a “dirty soda”?

If you’ve never heard the term, a dirty soda is just a fizzy drink with something creamy added—like coconut milk or almond creamer. It’s totally optional, but it adds a fun twist if you’re in the mood for something different.
