Doodh soda is a cold drink made by mixing a lemon- or lime-flavored soda, such as 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. It is considered to be healthier than regular soda, and is often paired with spicy foods. The combination of soda and milk was first created in Victorian England, and from there it spread to India and Pakistan through the British Empire.
