Ingredients

1 cup ice nugget ice preferred
1 teaspoon fresh squeezed lime juice or a squeeze of juice from a small wedge of lime
1 cup Dr Pepper soda chilled
4 tablespoons Coconut Creme non-dairy coffee creamer Coffee Mate brand used
Lime circle ⅛-¼ inch thick, optional garnish for edge of glass

Instructions

Fill a 16 ounce sized glass with ice and top with the fresh squeezed lime juice.
1 cup ice, 1 teaspoon fresh squeezed lime juice
Slowly pour in the chilled Dr Pepper soda into the glass being careful not to create too many foamy bubbles on top. Tilting the glass on a slight angle as you pour, then gradually standing the glass back upright when done pouring in the soda, helps to prevent lots of foam from forming as you pour the soda into the glass.
1 cup Dr Pepper soda
Pour the coconut creme non-dairy coffee creamer into the glass and stir gently to combine.
4 tablespoons Coconut Creme non-dairy coffee creamer
Garnish the rim of the glass with a single fresh lime circle, if desired and serve with a straw.

Notes

Storage :

Prepare In Advance: You can prep the components of Dirty Dr Pepper ahead of time, but don’t mix it with the soda until you’re ready to serve. The carbonation in the soda will lose its fizz if stored together. Store coconut syrup and fresh lime juice in separate containers for easy assembly later.
In The Refrigerator:It’s not recommended to store the mixed drink in the fridge, as the carbonation will quickly flatten. However, you can refrigerate any leftover coconut syrup for future use. Leftover lime juice or syrup can be stored separately in the fridge for up to a week.

Tips :

Fresh lime juice provides a much brighter and more complex flavor compared to bottled lime juice. It adds a natural tangy flavor that enhances the sweetness of Dr. Pepper and coconut syrup, providing a more authentic, refreshing taste.

Make sure you use the right ice-to-liquid ratio for optimal refreshment! Fill your glass halfway with crushed or small ice cubes so the drink stay cold without quickly diluting the flavors.
If you want to experiment, you can add a splash of grenadine for a fruity touch or a dash of bitters to give it a more complex flavor profile. You can also try using sparkling water in place of some of the Dr. Pepper for a lighter version.
Store the coconut syrup in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed. Coconut syrup can be very sweet, so you may want to adjust the amount you use depending on your preference. The key to the perfect Dirty Dr Pepper is finding the balance between the Dr. Pepper, lime, and coconut syrup. If it’s too sweet, increase the lime juice or reduce the syrup. If it’s too tart, add a touch more syrup.
