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!
Paula says
I’ve never heard of this! Now, you know, I have to try one!! Great pictures!

Kate, you can find the syrup on Amazon or in the flavored syrup area (by the sodas). LMK what you think!

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 🙂

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!)

Ashley @ Wishes and Dishes says
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!

Gloria says
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! (=

Steph J says
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
Gloria says
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!

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.
Atta Girl Amy says
This looks and sounds amazing. I’m betting it would be nice with the addition of some coconut flavored rum, too.

I, too, was thinking about the coconut flavored rum. That would make it extra dirty!
Gloria says
Oh delish! You girls have got the right idea! (=

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.

carolaj3 says
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?
Gloria says
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!

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 😉

Do you know how to make your site mobile

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!
Gloria says
Lin, that actually sounds REALLY good with the vanilla vodka…going to have to have to give that a try! Have an exciting NYE! (=
Lin says
You too, Gloria! It is on my list for NYE refreshments! <3
Steve says
Instead of coconut concentrate, try it with coconut rum. Yummy and dirty!
