Tips & Variations

• For a tangy twist, add a splash of lime juice to the coconut cream mixture before pouring.
• Use homemade blackberry syrup with fresh blackberries for a more vibrant flavor.
• Swap Dr Pepper for cola or root beer to customize the base flavor of your dirty soda.
• Use full-fat coconut cream for the creamiest, richest texture.

Storage

This drink is best enjoyed immediately for the freshest taste and fizz. If you need to prepare elements ahead, keep the blackberry syrup and coconut cream mixture refrigerated separately for up to 3 days. Do not store the assembled drink as it will lose its carbonation and texture.

FAQs

Can I use other types of soda for this recipe?

Yes, you can experiment with different sodas like cola, ginger ale, or root beer to create your own twist on the dirty soda.

Is there a non-dairy alternative for coconut cream?

Coconut cream itself is a great dairy-free option. If you want a lighter alternative, you can try using full-fat coconut milk, but the texture won’t be as thick.
