Shark Bite Dirty Loaded Tea

By Ashley Published on

Looking for a drink that’s as bold as it is fun? The Shark Bite Dirty Loaded Tea takes your favorite Kajun Cotton Candy base and gives it a wild twist. This layered creation combines fruity sweetness with creamy richness and a splash of dramatic color that lives up to its name. It’s a treat for the eyes and the taste buds, with a sweet bite that feels like summer in a cup.

Made with sugar-free vanilla syrup, lemon-lime soda, heavy cream, and a drizzle of grenadine, this recipe is simple but delivers big flavor. The vibrant blue base and red “bite” on top make it a perfect party drink or just an everyday pick-me-up when you want something extra. Grab your cup, load it with ice, and get ready to sip on a dirty loaded tea that looks as good as it tastes.
