Dirty Dr Pepper is a viral drink my whole family loves! This fun treat requires just two ingredients – Dr Pepper and coffee creamer. Pour it over ice and enjoy! It’s so easy to make an indulgent dirty soda at home, so why not give it a try?
If you’re a fan of cream sodas, you’ll be in love with this drink! In fact, if you’ve ever enjoyed a root beer float or a sweet iced coffee, this is something you’ve got to try. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it – and the girls absolutely love making them on the weekends!
Most of the recipes we found in viral videos required three ingredients… soda, syrup and creamer. When we found a bottle of sweetened coconut coffee creamer, I knew it would make this fun drink even easier to create! This might be the easiest recipe I’ve ever shared here, but I couldn’t resist.
Ingredients
- Dr Pepper – Or your favorite soda.
- Coconut Creamer – We used Coffee mate, but you can use any brand you like!
- Lime – Optional addition that is a great burst of citrus flavor.
Variations
- Make a dirty soda with any favorite (dark) carbonated soda. Think classic Coca Cola, diet sodas, flavored Cokes or Dr Pepper, or root beer!
- Customize the calories to fit your needs with a sugar free creamer choice.
- Coconut is the original flavoring for dirty sodas, but you can use other flavored creamers! Try caramel, vanilla and more.
Nugget Ice
Pebble ice is the absolute best for a dirty Dr Pepper! We love our Opal Nugget ice machine, but you can use any kind of crushed ice.
Tip from my Test Kitchen
