Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup ice (preferably nugget ice)
- 1 teaspoon fresh squeezed lime juice (or juice from a small wedge of lime)
- 1 cup Dr Pepper soda (chilled)
- 4 tablespoons Coconut Creme non-dairy coffee creamer (Coffee Mate brand recommended)
- 1 lime circle (⅛-¼ inch thick, optional garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the glass and ice: Fill a 16-ounce glass with 1 cup of nugget ice or your preferred ice cubes. This will chill the drink and keep it refreshing.
- Add lime juice: Pour 1 teaspoon of fresh squeezed lime juice over the ice. This adds a bright, citrusy kick that complements the soda.
- Pour the Dr Pepper: Slowly add 1 cup of chilled Dr Pepper soda into the glass. To minimize foam, tilt the glass slightly as you pour and gradually return it to an upright position once done.
- Add the coconut creme: Gently pour 4 tablespoons of coconut creme non-dairy coffee creamer into the glass. Stir gently with a spoon or straw to blend the flavors and create a creamy texture.
- Garnish and serve: Optionally, place a lime circle on the rim of the glass for garnish. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your Dirty Dr Pepper.
Notes
- Use chilled Dr Pepper for the best fizzy refreshment and to maintain the drink’s cold temperature.
- Nugget ice is preferred as it mixes well and helps keep the drink chilled longer without diluting it too quickly.
- You can adjust the amount of coconut creme to taste if you prefer a richer or lighter creaminess.
- The lime garnish adds a nice visual touch and subtle aroma but is optional.
