High Noon Soda Co. opened as a mobile pop-up in August, bringing the dirty soda trend sweeping the nation to the streets of Topeka. Now, Owner Amanda Rice is rebranding under the name Dirty Voltage Beverage Co. and business is booming. Dirty soda recipes typically begin with a soda base mixed with flavored syrup and cream and served over ice. The concept, which started in Utah in the 2010s, has been making its way toward the center of the country over the past decade. “We have seven types of soda and different combos of dirty soda,” said Rice. “We make our own cream, cold foam and soft tops.” A soft top is a thick, fluffy sweet cream foam cap that sits atop a drink.
