Let’s get started!
What You’ll Need
- Dr Pepper (cold, straight from the fridge)
- Coconut cream (thick and creamy, not coconut milk!)
- Blackberry syrup (homemade or store-bought)
- Vanilla extract (pure for the best flavor)
- Ice cubes
Pro Tips
✅ Use crushed ice – It makes the drink extra cold and blends better with the flavors.
✅ Shake the coconut cream – It can separate in the can, so give it a good stir or shake before using.
✅ Homemade blackberry syrup? Even better! – If you want to go the extra mile, simmer fresh blackberries with sugar and water for a homemade version.
✅ Adjust to taste – Want it sweeter? Add more blackberry syrup. Love coconut? A little extra never hurts!
✅ Chill your glass – A frosty glass keeps your drink cold longer.
Tools You’ll Need
- Tall glass
- Spoon or straw (for stirring)
- Measuring spoons
- Small pitcher or cup for mixing coconut cream
Substitutions & Variations
- No Dr Pepper? Try Coke or Pepsi for a similar vibe.
- Dairy-free? This is already dairy-free, but if you don’t have coconut cream, almond or oat creamer could work.
- Different fruit? Swap blackberry syrup for raspberry or cherry syrup for a fun twist!
- Want it extra fancy? Garnish with fresh blackberries or a cherry on top.
Make Ahead Tips
- Mix your coconut cream and vanilla ahead of time for easy pouring.
- Store homemade blackberry syrup in the fridge so it’s ready to go anytime.
How to Make Midnight Malibu Dirty Soda
Step 1: Fill the Glass with Ice
Fill a tall glass all the way with ice cubes, leaving a little space at the top.
Step 2: Pour in the Dr Pepper
Slowly pour cold Dr Pepper over the ice until the glass is about ¾ full.
Step 3: Add Blackberry Syrup
Drizzle 1–2 tablespoons of blackberry syrup into the soda. Watch it swirl beautifully!
Step 4: Mix Coconut Cream & Vanilla
In a small cup, stir together 2 tablespoons of coconut cream and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 5: Pour Coconut Cream Mixture Over the Soda
Slowly pour the coconut cream and vanilla mixture over the Dr Pepper. It should float on top before mixing in.
Step 6: Stir & Enjoy!
Use a straw or spoon to gently mix everything together. Take a sip and enjoy!
Leftovers & Storage
- This is best enjoyed fresh! The soda will go flat if stored too long.
- If you make extra coconut cream mix, keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
