Tips & Variations
- For a lighter version, use coconut milk instead of coconut cream, though the drink will be less rich.
- Try using flavored sparkling water instead of Dr Pepper for a different twist.
- Adjust the blackberry syrup to your preferred sweetness level or substitute with raspberry or cherry syrup.
Storage
This drink is best enjoyed immediately for maximum fizziness and creaminess. If needed, assemble the soda and syrup in advance, but add the coconut cream mixture just before serving. Leftovers may lose carbonation and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but stirring before drinking is recommended.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
