I'm so excited to share one of my favorite things on the planet today. It's a copycat recipe from a drink shop in Utah, called Swig. They serve cold sodas infused with other flavors (like Sonic, but WAY better) and they also serve sugar cookies, all in a drive-thru. The experience is magical.
Dirty Dr. Pepper
Since I don't live near a Swig or any of the copycat drink shops that have popped up since it became popular, I decided to figure out how to make Dirty Dr. Pepper at home. Dirty Dr. Pepper is a mixed drink made by mixing Dr. Pepper with fresh lime and coconut syrup. I found the coconut syrup I needed on Amazon and have been hooked ever since!
What's a Dirty Soda?
The drink shop calls any soda with the added flavors of coconut and lime a "Dirty" soda. These flavors can be used with Diet Coke too for a Dirty Diet Coke, if that's your preferred drink. The combo is great with pretty much any soda! They have clever names for all of their drinks.
Dirty Dr. Pepper Ingredients:
- Ice
- 1 Lime
- Torani Sugar Free Coconut Syrup
- Dr. Pepper or Diet Dr. Pepper
How to Make Dirty Dr. Pepper
It's simple: Fill your cup ¼ full with ice and add one slice of lime.
Pour Dr. Pepper in and add about 1 teaspoon of coconut syrup for every 1 cup of Dr. Pepper.
Drink up and enjoy!
Note: Pebble Ice is preferred, but use what you've got! Sometimes I go to Sonic and buy a bag of their pebble ice before we have people over. Someday, I plan to buy this amazing nugget ice maker!

A lot of the time, I make this in a tumbler with a lid so I can take it with me! If I'm making it for friends or for dinner, I use these highball glasses. I think they're so pretty! Here are some links to the things I mentioned:
This beautiful drink goes perfectly with sugar cookies, like these Sugar Cookie Bars! If you love Dr. Pepper, you also HAVE to try this Raspberry Dream - another Swig copycat made with coconut cream and Raspberry pureé.

This needs cream of some kind in it to be a "dirty" soda. This is just a coconut dr. Pepper
Mmmm... My new favourite mocktail !!
Yay! We are so glad you enjoyed it.
It's Dr Pepper not Dr. Pepper! No period after Dr!
DELICIOSO!
Good evening to all of you. I am also a fanatic and need my fix of Dr. Pepper. But I have never heard of coconut syrup. I have heard about coconut extract. Would that be the same thing. I have looked in specialty shops and stores and I have never seen coconut syrup. If it is not would anyone know how to make homemade coconut syrup so I can try this recipe. Sincerely, Sylvia
Hi Sylvia! There are links to the coconut syrup in our post. It is not the same thing as coconut extract. It's a syrup specidfically for mixing into drinks, and it is Torani brand. Here is the link to it on Amazon: http://amzn.to/1ZJB1hM I've also bought it at World Market! I like the sugar free kind!
I love Dr. Pepper and need this in my life!!!
What a fun drink! Fun for our next movie night.
Perfect for our upcoming gathering, thank you!
These are the life of the party! Such a fun drink.
I LOVE Dr. Pepper! I need this in my life.
You really do! It is my FAVE!
Can't wait to try this!!
You'll love it!
YUM! I'm so excited to try this! I quit drinking a year ago and I've been struggling to find fun drinks that don't have alcohol in them that aren't loaded up with sugar. This will be my 4th of July drink!

I have a slight obsession with dirty dr pepper. Next to Pasta factory's raspberry lemonade, it's my favorite drink! I have made the swig sugar cookie copycat recipe, and I must be honest, I like it better than the actual sugar cookie from swig!
