A cocktail recipe is doing the rounds, dubbed the “perfect” summer tipple, and you only need two ingredients to make it.
The beverage has gone viral on social media after someone shared the recipe for the cooling drink, which features Dr Pepper.
While you may have never thought of mixing the popular soft drink with alcohol, all that is about to change.
According to @cocktails on TikTok, people “need” to try the captivating combination. A video shared by them reveals just how easy it is to make.
First, take a large gin glass (or something similar) and top it with ice. Then add some Malibu, obviously varying the amount to your liking.
From here, all you need to do is add some Dr Pepper and you’re good to go. But, if you want to get a little fancy, you could add some cherries on the top too.
According to @cocktails, it’s the “perfect summer drink”, and also works to really refresh your taste buds during the summer. Based on the comments, it looks as though many people are keen to try it out too.
One person said: “I’ve drank this for years now. One of my favourite combos.” Another wrote: “This is my type of drink.” A third replied: “That’s 1000% my drink. It’s called a private eye.”
Meanwhile, a fourth commented: “Malibu is my favourite. Definitely have to try this combo.”
If Malibu is not your drink of choice, you can also mix Dr Pepper with some other boozy treats. Many people rave about drinking it with vodka, grenadine and ice.
Meanwhile, some also drink it with rum, and this particular bevvy carries many different names. It’s known as “Dark n’ Stormy” in Bermuda, “Gangsters’ Paradise Cooler” in Jamaica and simply as “Booze Soda” in some parts of America.
For those who haven’t tried it, it’s said to pack quite a punch, and embodies the perfect balance of sweet and sour flavours.
