Description

Spicy Southwest Dirty Dr. Pepper brings bold Mexican-inspired flavors dancing across your plate with unexpected zesty charm. Pork slow-cooked in sweet pepper sauce delivers mouthwatering complexity you’ll crave again and again.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Spirits and Liquors:

  • 1 ounces (30 ml) coconut rum
  • 1/2 ounces (15 ml) amaretto

Soda:

  • 8 ounces (240 ml) Dr. Pepper soda

Garnish and Additional Components:

  • Ice cubes
  • 1 lime wedge

Instructions

  1. Chill a tall glass by filling it completely with frosty ice cubes, creating a crisp foundation for the cocktail.
  2. Cascade the smooth coconut rum and rich amaretto liqueurs directly over the ice, allowing them to mingle and create a luxurious base layer.
  3. Slowly stream the fizzy Dr. Pepper soda into the glass, watching it blend and swirl with the spirits, creating a mesmerizing marbled effect.
  4. Delicately perch a vibrant lime wedge on the glass rim, its citrusy essence adding a bright, zesty accent to the drink’s complex flavor profile.
  5. Serve the cocktail immediately while the ice is still crackling and the carbonation is at its peak, inviting an instant refreshing experience.

Notes

  • Swap out regular Dr. Pepper for diet version to reduce overall sugar and calorie content.
  • Experiment with different rum varieties like spiced or white rum for unique flavor profiles.
  • Add a splash of fresh lime juice for extra zesty brightness and enhanced tropical notes.
  • Create a virgin mocktail version by replacing alcohol with coconut water or coconut syrup for a non-alcoholic alternative.
