Ingredients

Scale

Raspberry Mixture

  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Cream Mixture

  • 2 cups half-and-half
  • 2 tablespoons coconut extract

Beverage Assembly

  • 2 liters Dr. Pepper, chilled
  • Ice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Puree Raspberries: In a blender, combine the fresh raspberries and sugar. Puree until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Set this raspberry puree aside for later use.
  2. Prepare Cream Mixture: In a small mixing bowl, stir together the half-and-half and coconut extract until fully combined. Set this creamy mixture aside.
  3. Assemble the Drink: Fill a 16-ounce cup halfway with ice cubes. Pour Dr. Pepper into the cup until it is three-fourths full to create the base of the drink.
  4. Add Flavors: Spoon 2 tablespoons of the raspberry puree into the cup, followed by 2 tablespoons of the prepared cream mixture. These add the signature fruity and creamy layers to the drink.
  5. Mix and Serve: Top off the cup with more chilled Dr. Pepper to fill it completely. Stir the drink well using a straw or spoon to evenly distribute all flavors. Enjoy your Swig’s Raspberry Dream immediately for the best experience.

Notes

  • Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor and natural color.
  • Adjust the sugar amount based on the sweetness of your raspberries and personal preference.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute half-and-half with coconut cream or almond milk with a coconut flavor enhancer.
  • Serve immediately after assembly to maintain the carbonation and freshness.
  • This drink is best enjoyed chilled and is a perfect summer refresher.
