Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup ice (nugget ice preferred)
- 1 teaspoon fresh squeezed lime juice (or a squeeze 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 1 cup of nugget ice to keep the drink refreshingly cold throughout.
- Add Fresh Lime Juice: Pour 1 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lime juice over the ice to add a bright citrus note that complements the soda.
- Pour Dr Pepper Carefully: Slowly add 1 cup of chilled Dr Pepper soda by tilting the glass at a slight angle and gradually standing it upright to minimize foaming and retain carbonation.
- Incorporate Coconut Creme: Gently stir in 4 tablespoons of coconut creme non-dairy coffee creamer to create a rich, creamy texture that enhances the soda’s flavors.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish the glass rim with a fresh lime circle sliced ⅛ to ¼ inch thick, then serve with a straw for an enjoyable sipping experience.
Notes
- Using nugget ice is preferred for better chilling and dilution control, but any ice cubes can be used.
- Tilting the glass while pouring soda minimizes foam and preserves carbonation.
- The coconut creme creamer adds a unique creamy texture without dairy, making it suitable for dairy-free diets.
- Fresh lime juice provides the best flavor, but bottled lime juice can be a substitute if needed.
- The drink is designed for a single serving but can be easily scaled up for multiple servings.
