Coconut Lime Dr Pepper (The Dirty Doc)
The drink that started it all: spicy-cherry Dr Pepper turns silky and tropical with coconut and a squeeze of lime.
Dirty soda is the Utah soda-shop formula — soda, a flavored syrup or two, a splash of cream, and fresh citrus over pebble ice. This Dr Pepper version takes about two minutes and zero alcohol. Prefer it lighter? Swap in a diet soda and sugar-free syrups.
How to order it at a soda shop or bar: “Large Dr Pepper with coconut syrup, fresh lime, and coconut cream.”
