This non-alcoholic drink recipe made with Dr. Pepper, raspberry puree and coconut cream is TO DIE FOR! A Swig copycat recipe that you can make at home again and again!
When I am in the mood for a cold drink that is as delicious as it is refreshing, I might make one of these 5 Infused Water Recipes. But we LOVE to make fun mocktails (non-alcoholic drink recipes) at our house. Most often I go with this amazing Raspberry Dream, or another favorite of mine, the Dirty Dr. Pepper.

Raspberry Dream
Many of you know that we are obsessed with Swig, a soda and cookie drive thru based in Utah. Well, I don't live in Utah, so that obsession is kind of a problem. I am particularly into a drink called Raspberry Dream which is a non-alcoholic drink made up of Dr. Pepper + raspberry puree + coconut cream. It's HEAVEN.
This drink paired with a soft sugar cookie, you will hear angels singing. For real. So, I made it my mission in life to come up with a copycat recipe for my beloved Raspberry Dream and after a LOT of trial and error I am sharing it with you today!
Key ingredient: Raspberry puree
Raspberry puree is the essential ingredient in this drink. I like to use Torani raspberry puree because it's made for mixing into drinks, and has a long shelf-life. You can also make it at home using frozen raspberries if you want.
The coconut cream can be made with either half & half or non-dairy coconut creamer. With half & half it's more creamy, but with the coconut creamer it's about half the calories. I also use Diet Dr. Pepper most of the time!
How to make a Raspberry Dream:
First, you fill a cup ¼ full with ice.
Then, you add the half and half, coconut syrup and raspberry puree and stir.
Finally, you pour the Dr. Pepper and enjoy!
Here are some easy links to the things I use to make this drink:
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!
I love this drink in the summer especially. Add a copycat Swig sugar cookie or a Sugar Cookie Bar and you're really in business!
You might also be interested in trying my second fave drink that Swig offers: the Dirty Dr. Pepper, or try our other non-alcoholic drink recipes.

Just made an adapted version, that I am going to tweak further to my preferences, because about halfway through the drink it was too sweet and too strong.
I used 8 oz dr pepper, 2 Tbsp Coconut creamer (because the coconut syrup tastes soapy to me), 2 Tbsp Raspberry puree.
Sooo good, even for me not usually drinking dr. Pepper. I'll be cutting the Raspberry puree by half a Tbsp next time I try it, but that's the joy of recipes like this. They give you somewhere to start, then adjust to individual preferences as desired.
