# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The coconut cream creates this luxurious velvety texture that transforms regular soda into something that feels like a dessert youd order at a fancy restaurant
  • Blackberry and Dr Pepper sound unexpected together but the berries brightness cuts through the sodas deep caramel notes in the most perfect way
02 -
  • Pouring the cream over the back of a spoon is what keeps it floating prettily instead of immediately mixing into the soda
  • The vanilla extract might seem strange but it rounds out the coconut flavor and keeps the drink from tasting too artificial
03 -
  • Chill your glass in the freezer for ten minutes before building the drink, it keeps everything colder longer
  • If the coconut cream is too thick to pour, warm it slightly in the microwave but dont let it get hot
