Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup ice (nugget ice preferred)
- 1 teaspoon fresh squeezed lime juice (or a squeeze 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 glass with 1 cup of nugget ice to ensure the drink is perfectly chilled.
- Add fresh lime juice: Squeeze 1 teaspoon of fresh lime juice over the ice for a subtle citrus brightness that complements the soda’s flavors.
- Pour Dr Pepper soda: Slowly pour 1 cup of chilled Dr Pepper soda into the glass. Tilt the glass at a slight angle while pouring to minimize foam and bubbles, then gradually return the glass to an upright position.
- Add coconut creme: Pour 4 tablespoons of Coconut Creme non-dairy coffee creamer (Coffee Mate brand recommended) into the glass, then gently stir the mixture to combine all flavors smoothly.
- Garnish and serve: Optionally garnish the glass rim with a fresh lime circle (⅛-¼ inch thick) and serve immediately with a straw for a delightful sipping experience.
Notes
- Nugget ice is preferred for the best chilling effect and texture.
- Use fresh lime juice for optimal flavor brightness.
- Pour soda slowly and at an angle to reduce foam formation.
- The coconut creme non-dairy creamer adds a rich, creamy texture without dairy.
- Garnishing with lime is optional but enhances the presentation.
