Ingredients
Drink Ingredients
- 12 oz cold Dr Pepper
- 2 tbsp thick coconut cream
- 1-2 tbsp blackberry syrup (homemade or store-bought)
- ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- Ice cubes (as needed)
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top to allow room for the soda and other ingredients.
- Add Dr Pepper: Pour the cold Dr Pepper over the ice until the glass is about three-quarters full, providing a fizzy base for the drink.
- Add Blackberry Syrup: Drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons of blackberry syrup into the soda and observe the beautiful swirling effect as the syrup disperses through the drink.
- Mix Coconut Cream and Vanilla: In a small cup, combine 2 tablespoons of thick coconut cream with ½ teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Pour Coconut Cream Mixture: Slowly pour the coconut cream and vanilla mixture over the soda, allowing it to float on top and create layered visual appeal.

Notes
- Use thick coconut cream for a rich, creamy texture that floats well on the soda.
- Adjust the amount of blackberry syrup according to your preferred sweetness and flavor intensity.
- Make your own blackberry syrup by simmering blackberries with sugar and water if you prefer a fresh homemade touch.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the layered effect and fizzy texture of the drink.
- This recipe can be customized by substituting Dr Pepper with other colas or sodas if desired.
