The Original

Dr Pepper, coconut, lime and cream. Where it all began.

Base
Dr Pepper
Time
3 minutes
Mood
Classic, Creamy

The drink that started a drive-thru movement. Spiced cherry soda meets toasted coconut and a squeeze of lime, then a slow pour of coconut cream that marbles through the ice. Balanced, nostalgic and dangerously easy to finish.
