Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 12 oz Dr Pepper (cold)
  • Ice cubes

Flavor Mix

  • 2 tbsp coconut cream (thick)
  • 12 tbsp blackberry syrup (homemade or store-bought)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract (pure)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glass: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top to accommodate the soda and other ingredients.
  2. Add Soda: Pour cold Dr Pepper over the ice until the glass is about three-quarters full, ensuring the soda remains chilled and fizzy.
  3. Add Blackberry Syrup: Drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons of blackberry syrup into the glass. Watch the syrup swirl and settle to create visual appeal and infuse the soda with fruity sweetness.
  4. Mix Coconut Cream and Vanilla: In a small separate cup, combine 2 tablespoons of thick coconut cream with ½ teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and evenly blended, forming a rich, creamy mixture.
  5. Top with Coconut Mixture: Slowly pour the coconut cream and vanilla mix over the soda. Pour gently to allow the mixture to float on the surface, creating a signature layered effect for the drink.
  6. Finish and Serve: Stir the drink gently with a straw or spoon to blend the flavors slightly while maintaining a creamy texture. Enjoy immediately for the best experience.

Notes

  • For best results, use cold soda directly from the refrigerator and fresh coconut cream for a creamy texture.
  • Blackberry syrup can be homemade by simmering blackberries with sugar and water or purchased from stores.
  • You can adjust the amount of blackberry syrup to make the drink sweeter or more tart according to your taste.
  • Use pure vanilla extract for authentic flavor instead of artificial flavorings.
  • This recipe serves one but can be easily multiplied for more servings.
