REVIEW: Dr Pepper Creamy Coconut

I discover it very unusual that the brand new Dr Pepper Creamy Coconut comes on the heels of the discharge of Nestle Espresso mate’s Coconut Lime Soiled Soda Creamer, a product designed to be combined with Dr Pepper. Why would Nestle Espresso mate conform to develop a product that transforms an everyday Dr Pepper right into a coconut-flavored one when an precise coconut-flavored Dr Pepper could be hitting cabinets quickly after?

Just like the variety of licks it takes to get to the middle of a Tootsie Pop and why Oreo places out a cookies & cream selection, the world could by no means know.

As somebody who has tried the creamer with a Dr Pepper, my style buds had a good suggestion of what to anticipate when tasting the restricted version soda. Not surprisingly, they’re related. Each have a daring coconut taste with a gentle style of Dr Pepper. I think about, for some, the coconut flavoring could be a bit too sturdy, bringing maybe sunscreen to the forefront, however I didn’t thoughts the depth. And that tropical taste did have a creamy style to it. I didn’t like it as a lot as I did final 12 months’s Strawberries & Cream selection, however I nonetheless discovered it to be gratifying.

Whereas it had a creamy taste, I didn’t discover a creamy texture. The one means this soda may have that’s if one thing is added to it, like, I dunno, candy cream or…Oh, Nestle Espresso mate’s Coconut Lime Soiled Soda Creamer. Properly, that solutions my query originally of this evaluate, and the world will know. I imagine that is what they name “synergy” in enterprise. However would including the creamer make the soda higher? Thankfully, I nonetheless had a bottle of the creamer in my fridge, so I may discover out.

Combining the 2 turned a reasonably good soda into a fantastic one, and should you plan on shopping for a 12-pack of this, I’d extremely advocate choosing up a bottle of the creamer if you will get your fingers on one. Including it made Dr Pepper Creamy Coconut earn the “creamy” in its identify. Whereas including extra coconut flavoring made every thing extra coconutty, I may nonetheless style the underlying Dr Pepper. What I didn’t discover was the lime within the creamer, however I didn’t care as a result of every thing else was scrumptious.

Dr Pepper Creamy Coconut is a tasty summer time soda that shouldn’t be missed if coconut calls to you.

NOTE: There’s additionally zero sugar model.
