Coconut Kiss Dirty Soda is a refreshing and creamy soda-based drink combining the tropical flavors of coconut cream and syrup with zesty fresh lime juice and the classic taste of Diet Dr Pepper. Perfect for a quick, indulgent treat, this easy-to-make beverage delivers a fizzy, sweet, and tangy flavor profile with a smooth, creamy texture reminiscent of a nostalgic soda shop experience.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup crushed ice
  • 1 can (12 oz) Diet Dr Pepper (or regular Dr Pepper)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut cream (full-fat canned, not coconut milk)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut syrup (such as Torani)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 fresh lime wedge, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Add crushed ice: Pour 1 cup of crushed ice into a tall glass to keep the drink chilled and provide that classic soda shop vibe.
  2. Pour in Diet Dr Pepper: Slowly pour 1 can (12 oz) of Diet Dr Pepper over the ice to maintain the soda's fizz.
  3. Add coconut syrup: Measure and add 1 tablespoon of coconut syrup into the soda, allowing it to swirl and meld with the drink.
  4. Add fresh lime juice: Squeeze in 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice to balance the sweetness with a bright, tangy kick.
  5. Top with coconut cream: Spoon 2 tablespoons of thick coconut cream on top of the drink, where it will float briefly and then slowly blend in for creamy richness.
  6. Garnish and enjoy: Add a fresh lime wedge on the rim for garnish if desired, and either drink as-is for a layered look or stir gently for a blended flavor.

Notes

  • Use full-fat canned coconut cream for the creamiest texture.
  • Add the soda last to preserve the fizz.
  • For a sweeter version, use regular Dr Pepper instead of diet.
  • Chill your glass beforehand to keep the drink colder longer.
  • Stir gently for a blended drink or leave unstirred for a layered aesthetic.
  • Substitute Dr Pepper with Coke, Root Beer, or cream soda for variation.
  • Use half & half or heavy cream if coconut cream is unavailable.
  • Add a splash of vanilla syrup or a cherry for extra sweetness and flair.
  • Juice lime and prep other ingredients in advance but add soda just before serving to maintain fizz and prevent coconut cream separation.
