This drink combines Dr. Pepper and Espresso which may sound like a weird combination, but trust me, it’s delicious. Think of this like a Dirty Dr. Pepper but made with coffee!
This recipe is for everyone out there who loves Dr. Pepper. It’s controversial soda, you either love it or hate it, but after trying this drink – everyone will be asking for more. Soda drinks are all the rage these days, and since we don’t have soda shops where I live, I have to make my own.
This is my version of a Dirty Dr. Pepper: the classic soda mixed with espresso. You can even add some flavors if you want – either way it’s the new iced coffee and it’s so good.

Ingredients
- Dr. Pepper: You can choose your favorite kind of Dr. Pepper for this recipe – regular, diet, or flavored.

Dirty Dr. Pepper Recipe Notes
- Add the espresso over ice, then add the soda and vanilla.
- You can use any other flavors you want – find tons of different flavors of coffee syrup on Amazon. Coconut or Hazelnut would be fantastic too. You could even add chocolate syrup.
