TROPICANA® Original Dirty Lemonade
INTRO: TROPICANA® Original Dirty Lemonade is a creamy lemonade drink made with Tropicana Original Lemonade, vanilla creamer, and ice. It takes a classic sweet-tart lemonade base and gives it a smoother, dessert-style finish with vanilla cream. This is a good pick when you want something lighter than a creamy cola dirty soda, but still sweeter and richer than regular lemonade.
What Is TROPICANA® Original Dirty Lemonade?
TROPICANA® Original Dirty Lemonade is Taco Bell’s creamy twist on original lemonade. The base drink is Tropicana Original Lemonade, and the “dirty” part comes from sweet vanilla creamer swirled into the drink. The result is a lemon-forward beverage with a smoother, sweeter, cream-style finish.
