Key Takeways
- Dr Pepper's limited-edition summer flavor is back in stores nationwide.
- The flavor was originally inspired by the dirty soda trend.
- The soda combines the classic Dr Pepper taste with tropical coconut and a smooth, creamy finish.
Warm weather is finally gracing us with its presence, which means many brands have officially declared it summer season. And what better way to celebrate the sunshine than with a nice, ice-cold soda?
Typically, we’re all for the refreshing 23 flavors of a crisp Dr Pepper. But this summer, we’re excited to enjoy the return of a Dr Pepper with 24 flavors and spices on those hot days. Originally launched as a nod to the viral dirty soda trend—adding creamer (typically heavy cream and coconut-flavored syrup) to your favorite pop—Dr Pepper Creamy Coconut was a smash hit.
Now, Dr Pepper is bringing back the fan-favorite Creamy Coconut flavor just in time for summer. Because nothing says “vacation mode” quite like coconut, right?
Dr Pepper Brings Back Creamy Coconut Flavor
Dr. Pepper
Dr Pepper’s limited-time Creamy Coconut and Creamy Coconut Zero Sugar sodas add a layer of tropical toasted coconut and creamy finish to the unique Dr Pepper flavor.
It’s not a true dirty soda since, no, there isn’t any cream in the actual can. However, the creamy finish and sweet, coconutty flavor are what give it a similar vibe. And fans think it’s one of the best flavors to come from the soda company. “One of my all-time favorite flavors of Dr. Pepper!” one fan raved.
What Does Dr Pepper's Creamy Coconut Soda Taste Like?
You might recall Dr Pepper launched its Strawberries & Cream flavor in 2023. While that one tastes more like Creme Saver Strawberries & Cream hard candies with a true sweet cream taste, the Creamy Coconut flavor doesn’t have any real cream flavor. Instead, the creaminess comes from the smooth finish at the end of the sip.
The coconut flavor, on the other hand, is very powerful. The sweet, tropical flavor pairs well with the peppery, vanilla, and caramel notes of the pop. Like any Dr Pepper, it truly has a unique flavor unlike anything else on the market—especially because this is the only coconut-flavored dark soda out there.
The returning flavor is back for a limited run this summer, hitting retailer shelves nationwide in both 12-ounce 12 packs and 20-ounce bottles. It may only last through the Fourth of July, but if you stock up now, you should be good until Labor Day.
Believe us when we say this Creamy Coconut Dr Pepper is going to be the star of your summer sipping.
