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 and ice: Fill a 16 ounce sized glass with the preferred nugget ice to keep the drink nicely chilled.
- Add fresh lime juice: Pour 1 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lime juice over the ice for a bright citrus flavor.
- Pour Dr Pepper soda: Slowly pour 1 cup of chilled Dr Pepper soda into the glass, tilting the glass at a slight angle to minimize foam and bubbles. Gradually return the glass to an upright position as you finish pouring.
- Incorporate coconut creme: Add 4 tablespoons of coconut creme non-dairy coffee creamer to the glass and stir gently to combine all the flavors smoothly without breaking carbonation too much.
- Garnish and serve: Optionally, garnish the rim of the glass with a fresh lime circle cut about ⅛-¼ inch thick for presentation and serve immediately with a straw.
Notes
- Using nugget ice helps keep the drink colder longer and enhances the texture.
- Pouring the soda slowly and at an angle reduces foam for a cleaner presentation.
- The coconut creme non-dairy creamer adds a rich, creamy texture while keeping the drink dairy-free.
- Lime garnish adds a refreshing aroma and a pop of color.
- This recipe is intended for one serving but can be multiplied accordingly.
