'''Doodh soda''' ({{Lit|milk soda}} in [[Hindustani language|Hindi-Urdu]] and [[Punjabi language|Punjabi]]) is a cold drink made by mixing a lemon- or lime-flavored soda, such as [[Sprite (drink)|Sprite]] or [[7 Up]], with milk. A variant uses a [[cola]]-flavored soda, such as [[Pepsi]] and some use [[cream soda]] such as [[Pakola]]. It is popular in the [[Punjab]] region of both [[Pakistan]] and [[India]], and is especially popular during [[Ramadan]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite magazine|first=Haneen J. |last=Iqbal |date=2021-04-16 |title=My Iftar Table Isn't Complete Without Doodh Soda |url=https://www.bonappetit.com/story/doodh-soda |access-date=2023-03-11 |magazine=[[Bon Appétit]] |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Imtiaz|first=Saba|date=2017-06-20|title=You Should Mix Soda with Milk|url=https://www.eater.com/2017/6/20/15793584/doodh-soda-doodh-7up-milk-pakistan|access-date=2023-03-11|website=[[Eater (website)|Eater]]|language=en|author-link=Saba Imtiaz}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite web |first=Anne|last=Ewbank|title=Doodh Soda|url=https://www.atlasobscura.com/foods/doodh-soda-milk|access-date=2023-03-11|website=[[Atlas Obscura]]|language=en}}</ref> It is considered to be healthier than regular soda, and is often paired with spicy foods.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2">{{Cite news |date=May 12, 2022|first= Sharon |last=Benjamin|title=A viral food trend that is a popular summer drink in Pakistan called 'doodh soda' |url=https://gulfnews.com/food/a-viral-food-trend-that-is-a-popular-summer-drink-in-pakistan-called-doodh-soda-1.1652361784604 |access-date=2023-03-11 |work=[[Gulf News]] |language=en}}</ref> The combination of soda and milk was first created in [[Victorian era|Victorian]] England, and from there it spread to India and Pakistan through the [[British Empire]].<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" /><ref>{{Cite web |last=Struble|first=Cristine|date=2021-04-20|title=What Is Doodh Soda And What Does It Taste Like?|url=https://www.mashed.com/387786/what-is-doodh-soda-and-whats-it-taste-like/|access-date=2023-03-11|website=[[Mashed (website)|Mashed]]|language=en-US}}</ref><br />

== Preparation ==<br />
There are multiple methods of creating doodh soda. One method is pouring boiling milk into a metal bucket submerged and spun in a container of iced water. Once chilled, the milk is mixed with the soda. Other times, vendors mix the drink by pouring between glasses, aerating the mixture.<ref name=":1" /> At home, people create it by filling a glass with equal parts ice, soda, and milk.<ref name=":0" /> Other ingredients are sometimes added in small amounts such as [[Rooh Afza]], fruit syrup, sugar, honey,<ref name=":1" /> or the zest of a lemon or lime.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
== In popular culture ==<br />
The drink gained mainstream popualrity due to its mention in the 2025 Indian film ''[[Dhurandhar]]'' by a character named Mohammed Aalam (played by [[Gaurav Gera]]) who rhymed it with a [[jingle]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Desk |first=Trending |date=2026-03-20 |title='Darling dil kyu toda, peelo Aalam soda': Dhurandhar's iconic line made doodh soda a viral drink at theatre stalls |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/new-updates/darling-dil-kyu-toda-peelo-aalam-soda-dhurandhars-iconic-line-made-dhoodh-soda-a-viral-drink-on-theatre-stalls/articleshow/129696627.cms?from=mdr |access-date=2026-04-18 |work=The Economic Times |issn=0013-0389}}</ref><br />
