Pumpkin Patch Pepper
Your fall latte’s fizzy cousin — Dr Pepper’s spice notes were made for pumpkin pie.
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: “Dr Pepper with pumpkin spice and vanilla, plus half-and-half” — most coffee and soda shops stock pumpkin syrup in fall.
