Midnight Malibu Dirty Soda
You have to try our Midnight Malibu Dirty Soda if you like Dr Pepper and interesting, creamy soda mixes.
It has the right mix of rich Dr. Pepper, creamy coconut cream, sweet blackberry syrup, and a dash of vanilla.
It tastes great, is refreshing, and has a hint of the tropics.
Great for a late-night snack or a quirky spin on your favorite soda.
This one is very simple to make: just mix, pour, and enjoy.
Let’s get going!
Ingredients
- Dr. Pepper (cold, straight from the fridge)
- Coconut cream (not coconut milk, which is thin and watery) – 2 tablespoons
- Blackberry syrup, whether you make it yourself or buy it – 1 to 2 teaspoons
- Vanilla extract (pure for the best taste) – ½ teaspoon
- Ice cubes
- A tall glass
- Spoon or straw (to stir)
- Spoons for measuring
- A little pitcher or cup for combining coconut cream
Instructions
- Put a lot of ice cubes in a tall glass, but leave a little room at the top.
- Pour cold Dr. Pepper over the ice slowly until the glass is roughly three-quarters filled.
- Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of blackberry syrup to the soda. See it spin brilliantly!
- Mix 2 tablespoons of coconut cream and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract in a small cup until smooth.
- Pour the coconut cream and vanilla mixture over the Dr. Pepper very slowly. Before mixing, it should float on top.
- Gently stir everything together with a straw or spoon. Enjoy your drink!
Tips and Variations
To make it easier to pour, mix your coconut cream and vanilla ahead of time.
Put homemade blackberry syrup in the fridge so it’s always ready to use.
Use crushed ice to make the drink colder and mix the flavors better.
Shake the coconut cream. It can separate in the container, so before you use it, stir or shake it well.
Blackberry syrup prepared at home? Even better! If you want to make your own version, boil fresh blackberries with sugar and water.
Change to taste—want it sweeter? Put in additional blackberry syrup. Do you like coconut? A little extra never hurts!
Chill your glass. A chilly glass keeps your drink chilled longer.
Not any Dr Pepper? For a comparable feel, try Coke or Pepsi.
No dairy? This is already dairy-free, but if you don’t have coconut cream, almond or oat milk could work.
A different fruit? For a fun touch, use raspberry or cherry syrup instead of blackberry syrup.
Want it to be even fancier? Add fresh blackberries or a cherry on top as a garnish.
Storage and Serving
Fresh is the best way to enjoy this! If you keep the soda for too long, it will go flat.
If you prepare more coconut cream mix than you need, you may keep it in the fridge for up to three days.
