Let’s Get Cooking!

Making This Midnight Malibu Dirty Soda

Fill up a tall glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top (about ¾ full is perfect!). If you’re feeling extra fancy, consider using a large mason jar!
Pour cold Dr Pepper over the ice, filling the glass until it’s about three-quarters full. Watch the bubbles fizzing on top, it’s so satisfying!
Drizzle in 1-2 tablespoons of blackberry syrup and just take a moment to appreciate how it swirls through the soda; it’s like a mini science experiment in your glass!
In a small cup, mix 2 tablespoons of coconut cream with ½ teaspoon of vanilla until smooth. Make sure there are no lumps, as we want it to pour nicely.
Slowly pour the coconut cream mixture over the soda, letting it float beautifully on top. And don’t worry; the cream will mix in as you sip!
Stir gently with a straw or spoon to combine the flavors or just enjoy the layers, that isn’t a problem either! Then, take a sip and feel all that refreshing goodness wash over you!
