Ingredients
Scale
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
- Prepare the Glass: Fill a 16 ounce sized glass completely with ice, preferably nugget ice to keep the drink well chilled.
- Add Lime Juice: Top the ice with 1 teaspoon of fresh squeezed lime juice to add a bright, tangy flavor to the base.
- Pour the Dr Pepper: Slowly pour the chilled Dr Pepper soda into the glass. Tilt the glass at a slight angle as you pour to minimize foam, and gradually bring the glass upright to prevent excessive bubbling.
- Add Coconut Creme: Pour 4 tablespoons of coconut creme non-dairy coffee creamer into the glass and stir gently to combine the creamy texture evenly with the soda.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish the rim of the glass with a thin lime circle (⅛-¼ inch thick). Serve immediately with a straw for a delightful drinking experience.
Notes
- Nugget ice is preferred because it chills the drink quickly and absorbs the lime flavor well.
- Dr Pepper should be chilled beforehand to reduce foam and maintain carbonation.
- Stir gently after adding the creamer to avoid losing the soda’s fizziness.
- The drink is best enjoyed immediately to experience the optimal fizzy-creamy texture.
- The lime garnish adds visual appeal and extra citrus aroma but can be omitted if preferred.
