# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The way coconut cream slowly swirls into dark soda is honestly mesmerizing to watch
  • Blackberry and Dr Pepper sound wrong together but they're actually best friends
  • Ready in five minutes but feels like something you'd order at a fancy speakeasy
02 -
  • The cream will sink eventually, so stir it right before drinking to get that perfect marble effect in every sip
  • Coconut cream from a can works way better than carton coconut milk which is too thin
  • Dr Pepper tastes different than root beer here, so don't substitute unless you've tested it first
03 -
  • If your coconut cream has separated, put the can in the fridge overnight and scoop only the thick white part from the top
  • Start with less syrup than you think you need, you can always add more but you can't take it back
