Adobong Pusit with Sprite is a unique and flavorful take on the traditional Filipino squid adobo. While it maintains the signature tangy and savory notes of classic adobo, the addition of Sprite adds a subtle sweetness and caramelized depth to the sauce, making it irresistibly delicious. This dish is perfect for seafood lovers who enjoy rich, bold flavors with a hint of sweetness.
✅ Sweet-Savory Balance – The Sprite caramelizes as it reduces, adding a delicate sweetness that complements the salty-tangy adobo sauce.
✅ Thick, Glossy Sauce – Cooking the sauce longer allows it to reduce into a rich, sticky glaze that coats the tender squid beautifully.
✅ Tender & Flavorful Squid – The squid absorbs the bold adobo flavors while remaining juicy and tender.
✅ Quick & Easy to Prepare – Ready in under 30 minutes, making it a great weeknight meal.
Unlike traditional adobo, where the sauce remains slightly soupy, this version is cooked down until the liquid evaporates and thickens. This method:
🍚 Best served with steamed rice – The thick, flavorful sauce is perfect for drizzling over hot rice.
🍋 A squeeze of calamansi or lime – Adds a bright, citrusy contrast to the rich flavors.
🌶 Extra chili for heat lovers – Add siling labuyo or chili flakes for a spicy kick.
Adobong Pusit with Sprite is a must-try for anyone who loves adobo but wants a slightly sweeter, more caramelized twist. The tender squid, rich glaze, and perfect balance of flavors make it a standout dish that’s sure to impress.

Adobong pusit with sprite is a hearty and really delicious Filipino dish. This version of adobo squid is similar to the usual way of cooking adobo dishes, with a slight difference in how the sauce is cooked for maximum flavor. In this recipe, the sauce is cooked longer until the liquid evaporates and reduces a little more, to make a thicker sauce. With this method of cooking, the dish looks more delicious and appetizing.
Clean the squid (pusit), debone them, remove teeth, then set aside.
Peel, chop, and slice the spices for the recipe.
In a pan, heat cooking oil over a medium-low flame. Saute the onion and garlic until aromatic, then add the tomato slices, saute, and mash slightly.
Add the baby squid (small pusit) and saute with the onion, garlic, and tomato. Allow them to cook for 3 minutes.
Add the vinegar, soy sauce, salt, and pepper to taste. Then pour in the lemon soda (Sprite) and add the dried bay leaves.
Cook for another 3 minutes with the lid on. After 3 minutes, remove the squid (pusit) from the cooking pan, put them in a bowl, and set aside for a while.
Place the long green chilies in the pan. Boil the sauce until it thickens.
When the sauce thickens, add the squid back into the pan.
Taste the sauce and adjust it if necessary. Keep cooking for a minute.
Turn off the heat and transfer them to a serving bowl. Serve hot with a plate of steaming rice.
