Ingredients

1 cup ice, nugget ice preferred
1 teaspoon fresh squeezed lime juice, or a squeeze of juice from a small wedge of lime
1 cup Dr Pepper soda, chilled
4 tablespoons Coconut Creme non-dairy coffee creamer, Coffee Mate brand used
Lime circle, optional garnish for edge of glass (⅛ to ¼ inch thick)

Instructions

Fill a 16 ounce sized glass with ice and top with the fresh squeezed lime juice.
Slowly pour in the chilled Dr Pepper soda into the glass being careful not to create too many foamy bubbles on top. Tilting the glass on a slight angle as you pour, then gradually standing the glass back upright when done pouring in the soda, helps to prevent lots of foam from forming as you pour the soda into the glass.
Pour the coconut creme non-dairy coffee creamer into the glass and stir gently to combine.
Garnish the rim of the glass with a single fresh lime circle, if desired and serve with a straw.

Notes

If you do not want to use a non-dairy coconut creme flavored coffee creamer, you can substitute 2 tablespoons half&half creamer and add 1 tablespoon coconut flavored syrup (Torani brand or DaVinci brand) for drinks. You can find the coconut flavored syrup online or in some grocery stores. These syrup brands are made especially for use to add flavor to hot or cold drinks and cocktails.
You can certainly reduce the amount of coconut creme flavored coffee creamer, by a tablespoon or two if desired, according to your taste preferences.
You can certainly use diet Dr Pepper if desired to cut some of the calories from the soda in this drink.
Fresh squeezed lime juice yields the best flavor when making this drink.
Some fast food chain restaurants (such as Sonic or Chick-fil-A) will sell bags of their nugget ice if asked. If you can not find nugget ice cubes, you can substitute with crushed ice from an ice machine.
