Have you had a DIRTY drink yet?
I am not much of a soda drinker. But, I LOVE Dr. Pepper… once in a blue moon. And, when it’s a DIRTY DR. PEPPER…I could seriously drink this every single day!
For those of you who do not know or have not experienced what a Dirty Drink is…Do not keep missing out!
It all begins with your favorite soda. (Which, mine happens to be of course, Dr. Pepper.)
Some COCONUT syrup…
And, some fresh squeezed lime!
Give it a little stir. And, you have yourself a DIRTY DRINK!
Isn’t this the perfect way to enjoy your Dr. Pepper (or favorite soda) this summer?
Enjoy your Dirty Drink, my friends!
- 12 oz. can of Dr. Pepper (or your favorite soda)
- 2 oz. coconut syrup
- juice from 1 lime
- crushed ice
- Put crushed ice into a large glass.
- Pour soda, coconut syrup, and fresh lime juice into the ice.
- Stir and drink.
- Enjoy!

The coconut syrup is usually found by the flavored syrups in the soda isle. But since it took me 5 grocery stores to find it…I already had it in my cart with Amazon. I should have started there! (My patience wasn’t very happening…5 stores and 3 counties!) Thanks Amanda!
I’ve never heard of this! Now, you know, I have to try one!! Great pictures!

Yes, you need to try this one Paula! You’ll love it!
Ok, awesome idea! I love it! I will have to seek out Dr Pepper here in Australia, its not sold in supermarkets 🙁

Renee, try any carbonated beverage…it’s delish!
Diet Dr Pepper is my big weakness. I’ve been looking all over for some coconut syrup so I can try dirty diet DP. Your look so refreshing!! I’m definitely going to try this (once I can find the syrup)! Pinned!! =)

Kate, you can find the syrup on Amazon or in the flavored syrup area (by the sodas). LMK what you think!
I’m not much of a soda drinker either but this sounds so refreshing! I love the idea of lime juice and coconut syrup in here, yum! Love you beautiful photos too Gloria. 🙂

You would love it Anne! There are tons of Coke fans here in Utah…that they make this with their cokes instead.
This looks so refreshing Gloria! I can imagine how awesome the coconut syrup and lime go together. Stunning photos as always too 🙂
I’ve never wanted to get dirty so bad in my life!

High five for the Dr. P club! Thanks Tanya! (I’m the same way with about once a week…but know it’s becoming a daily habit! I don’t even want to know how many calories are in this drink…bcz I overload with the syrup!)
Lime is perfect in anything! I can’t wait to make this drink this weekend! All the credit goes to you too, Gloria!

LMK what you think, Tahny! (=
All I need to go out and buy is the coconut syrup. I don’t drink a lot of pop/soda (we call it pop here in NY!) very often either but I do have a soft spot for Dr. Pepper!
Ashley @ Wishes and Dishes recently posted…Super Moist Carrot Cake
We used to call it pop when I was little…don’t know how we got to call it soda. Kind of like supper and dinner. Funny.
Thanks Ashley! (=
Dr. Pepper is my favorite thing in the whole world. This sounds like a great way to spruce it up!!
DeLisa, you’ll love how it does spruce it up! (=
I have never had a dirty drink before (lol) but I am so up for it! Love the pictures Gloria. And I have to look for Dr Pepper out here. Sounds like fun!

Seriously?! Dr. Pepper and coconut are two of my favorite things, and you combined them?? Holy yumminess!!! I am SO doing this!!

Jocelyn, LMK what you think when you get a chance to make this drink!
Hmm I have never heard of dirty drinks until now! Must try 🙂

Elizabeth, you’ll have to give it a try and let me know what you think!
Ok, YESSSSS!!! I do not drink soda but I do love an occasional Dr. Pepper and I LOVE this!
Thanks so much for sharing this at our “Best Of The Weekend party”! I have pinned this to our party board!!
Have a great week!

Thanks Claire! Love being on the party board! (=
I love these! In Utah, there is a drive thru store that gives you these. I duplicated the coconut syrup. You can find the recipe here:http://recipesfromstephanie.blogspot.com/2013/07/dirty-dr-pepper-swig-style.html?m=1
I keep hearing about Swig, but haven’t had the chance to go down there yet. I’m up by Park City and it seems all the ma and pops drive-ups are serving some dirty drinks. It must be a Utah thing… (=
Thank you for sharing how to make the coconut syrup Steph! A few of the stores around here do not sell coconut syrup…I ended up getting it from Harmon’s. (But there is some on Amazon.) Love your recipe, very simple!
Gloria recently posted…Picnic Style Caprese Salad
There is also one that is in Salt Lake City and is called Straws and is just a remake of the Swig in St. George.
This looks and sounds amazing. I’m betting it would be nice with the addition of some coconut flavored rum, too.
Atta Girl Amy recently posted…Laundry & Mudroom Renovation with Built-in Storage
I, too, was thinking about the coconut flavored rum. That would make it extra dirty!
Oh delish! You girls have got the right idea! (=
Gloria recently posted…Oreo Pudding Cookies
You can also find syrups in the coffee isle. Otherwise make a simple syrup with equal parts water and white sugar, bring to a boil until sugar dissolves. Let cool completely and add 1/2 tsp – 1 tsp of coconut extract to every one cup of simple syrup, according to taste. Keep stored in fridge up to two weeks.
I have been seeing the “dirty” drinks everywhere in the blog world – thanks for sharing the recipe!

Heather, it is really delish…you’ve gotta try one! (=
When I was in college in Missouri in the 60’s my roommate was from a small town near Buffalo, NY. Her Dad came with her stuff and while in MO. he discovered Dr. Pepper – never heard of it. He took 6 cases home, Now with the TV and internet it is had to believe Dr. Pepper was not in Buffalo. Where do you buy coconut syrup?
That is so interesting to hear about how he’d bring the Dr. Pepper to her. You can find some coconut syrup in the isle in the grocery store usually by the beverages/sodas. It is by all of the flavored syrups. I sometimes by it off of Amazon because we live far from town. Thanks so much for stopping by, Carola! Hope you enjoy the rest of your week and into the weekend! (=
Gloria recently posted…Homemade Fry Bread
My friends and I created a similar drink. Instead of the coconut syrup we used coconut rum and a splash of cranberry/apple juice. We call it a Dr. CranCoconut 😉
Hello there! Quick question that’s totally off topic.
Do you know how to make your site mobile
friendly? My site looks weird when viewing from my apple iphone.
I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to resolve this issue.
If you have any suggestions, please share. Thanks!

Have you ever added a bit of vanilla vodka to make it just a wee bit more dirty? I think I will have to give it a try!
Lin, that actually sounds REALLY good with the vanilla vodka…going to have to have to give that a try! Have an exciting NYE! (=
You too, Gloria! It is on my list for NYE refreshments! <3
Instead of coconut concentrate, try it with coconut rum. Yummy and dirty!
