Dirty Soda in Ajax: A Menu for Every Age at the Table

Looking for a dirty soda in Ajax that works for the whole table, from the six-year-old to the sixteen-year-old to whoever is paying?

The Cluck Clucks drink list is quietly one of the easiest ways to keep a mixed-age group happy.

Every dirty soda is C$4.29, every one is mixed to order at the fountain, and the lineup splits neatly into drinks with caffeine and drinks without. If you want the basics of what goes into the style, our main dirty soda guide covers it.

This page is for the practical question families actually ask: who gets which cup?

The Ajax dirty soda menu, sorted by caffeine

The first thing a parent wants to know is what is in the cup, so here is the short version. We build our six dirty sodas on three different fountain bases, and the base decides the caffeine.

• Caffeine-free (7UP): Blue Raspberry Breeze (blue raspberry, vanilla, cream), Peachy Pine Splash (peach, pineapple, cream) and Raspberry Cloud (raspberry, vanilla, cream).

• Caffeine-free (Orange Crush): Orange Cream Dream (vanilla and cream).
• Built on Pepsi, so caffeinated: Island Classic (coconut, vanilla, cream) and Mango Cherry Fizz (mango, cherry, cream).

That means four of the six are caffeine-free, so a kids' order almost never has to be a compromise. And because none of them contain alcohol, there is no awkward sorting of "which cup is for whom" beyond the caffeine question.

Caffeine-free picks for kids, and what each one tastes like

Orange Cream Dream

If your child has ever eaten an orange creamsicle, this is the one to point at. It is Orange Crush with vanilla and cream, no caffeine, and it reads as a float you can sip through a straw without a spoon.

It is also the drink that tends to get the "what is THAT?" look when it goes past another table, which is half the fun for a kid.

Raspberry Cloud

This is the gentlest cup on the menu: raspberry up front, vanilla underneath, cream to finish, over crisp 7UP. For a child who is cautious about new drinks, or a grandparent who does not want anything too sweet or too loud, start here.

It is mild enough for the Classic Crunchy sandwich and still holds up beside spicier food.

Blue Raspberry Breeze

The bright blue one. It is 7UP with blue raspberry syrup, vanilla and cream, so it looks like a treat before anyone has taken a sip.

Kids who pick drinks by colour will gravitate to it, and it is caffeine-free like the others on the 7UP base.

Peachy Pine Splash

Peach and pineapple with cream over 7UP, light and fizzy rather than heavy. A good pick for a kid who likes fruit flavours but finds a thick milkshake too filling alongside a full plate of chicken.

What parents and older kids can order

Teens and adults have more room to play, since caffeine is not the constraint it is for the little ones. Two choices are worth knowing about.

Mango Cherry Fizz is the loudest flavour in the lineup. It is Pepsi charged with mango and cherry plus cream, and it is sweeter and bolder than the 7UP builds. If a teenager wants the "interesting" cup, or a parent wants something fruity that is not a plain cola, this is it. It is the one to match with the Nashville Hot Sandwich or the Hot As Cluck, because the fruit and cream stand up to real heat.

Island Classic is the mellow Pepsi option: coconut, vanilla and cream, closer to dessert than to a soda. It suits anyone who likes coconut and wants something smooth rather than sharp.

A small tip for mixed tables: if one person is sensitive to caffeine and the rest are not, you can still order a matching pair. Raspberry Cloud and Island Classic share the vanilla-and-cream character, so the cups taste related even though one has caffeine and one does not.

A family order, worked out

Here is how a table of four might order at the Ajax restaurant, using real menu items and prices. Imagine two adults and two kids.

• The Family Bundle at C$38.99: two signature chicken sandwiches, five crispy tenders, a large side and a dipping sauce. Ask at the counter, because the kitchen can usually build the two sandwiches in different styles, so one can be the no-heat Classic Crunchy and the other a Nashville Hot for whoever wants a kick.
• Two Orange Cream Dreams or a Raspberry Cloud plus a Blue Raspberry Breeze for the kids, caffeine-free.
• A Mango Cherry Fizz and an Island Classic for the adults.

Four dirty sodas at C$4.29 each come to C$17.16, so the whole spread lands at C$56.15 before tax. For kids who are still small, add a 2-piece Chicken Tenders at C$7.99 or the bite-size Chicken and Waffle Bites at C$10.99. The bites are mild by default and built for small hands, and a creamy dirty soda alongside them makes it feel like a proper treat.

One of our Ajax guests, Shereen, put it this way after ordering the 5-piece tenders with fries:

"The size of the tenders was super generous and could easily feed 2 people."

Portions like that are the reason a shared bundle plus individual drinks tends to work for families.

Matching the drink to the heat

If anyone at the table has ordered their chicken spicy, a cup of dirty soda does more than a glass of water ever will. The cream and sugar take the edge off the cayenne, which is why the Mango Cherry Fizz and Island Classic are natural choices beside a Nashville order. For milder plates, the 7UP and Orange Crush builds keep things bright and light.

Heat is adjustable on almost everything. We season chicken to order at six levels: No Heat, Mild, Medium, Hot, Extra Hot and Cluck You Up. If a child wants the crunch and nothing else, No Heat is the default on the classic items, and a spicy-loving parent can have their own plate at a higher level.

Halal, fresh, and easy to explain at the counter

Our chicken is certified halal, sourced from halal-certified suppliers, so families who keep halal can order the full menu without a separate conversation. The chicken is fresh, never frozen, and breaded by hand after you order, which is why a family order takes a few minutes longer than a drive-through bag.

You can read more on our halal fried chicken page, or see where Cluck Clucks fits among local halal spots in the Ajax and Pickering guide.

If anyone in your group has allergies, speak to the team at the counter before ordering.

Our kitchens handle wheat, dairy, eggs, soy and other common allergens, and we fry multiple items in shared oil, so we cannot guarantee any item is free from cross-contact. Dirty sodas contain dairy in the form of cream, which is worth keeping in mind.

Dine in, pick up, or order delivery

The Ajax restaurant has dine-in seating and parking, which makes it easy with strollers or a bigger group. If you would rather eat at home, the menu is also on Uber Eats. Browse the full menu before you go and decide on the drinks in advance so the kids are not choosing under pressure at the counter.
