Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup ice (nugget ice preferred)
- 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 used)
- Lime circle (⅛-¼ inch thick, optional garnish for edge of glass)
Instructions
- Prepare the glass: Fill a 16-ounce glass with about 1 cup of nugget ice to keep the drink chilled and refreshing.
- Add lime juice: Pour 1 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lime juice over the ice to add a bright, tangy flavor that complements the sweetness of the soda.
- Pour Dr Pepper: Slowly pour 1 cup of chilled Dr Pepper soda into the glass at a slight angle to minimize foam and preserve the carbonation for a smooth texture.
- Add coconut creamer: Pour 4 tablespoons of coconut creme non-dairy coffee creamer into the glass and stir gently to blend the tropical creaminess with the soda mixture.
- Garnish and serve: Optional but recommended, place a fresh lime circle on the rim of the glass as a garnish and serve with a straw for easy sipping.
Notes
- Using nugget ice helps to keep the drink colder longer and provides a pleasant chewiness.
- Tilting the glass while pouring the soda minimizes foam, helping maintain carbonation.
- The coconut creme adds a dairy-free creamy texture that pairs well with Dr Pepper’s distinct flavor.
- Adjust the lime juice quantity to taste if you prefer a more or less tart flavor.
- For an extra special touch, chill the glass beforehand.
