Description

The Zesty Dirty Dr. Pepper Twist is a unique and refreshing cocktail that combines the classic sweetness of Dr. Pepper soda with the tang of fresh lime juice, a savory hint from Worcestershire sauce, and a spicy kick from hot sauce. This cocktail can be enjoyed as a non-alcoholic beverage or transformed into a lively drink with the addition of white rum, perfect for those looking for a zesty, flavorful refreshment with a twist.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 can (12 oz) Dr. Pepper soda
  • 1 oz lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • Ice cubes

Alcoholic Additions (Optional)

  • 1-2 oz white rum

Flavor Enhancers

  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 tsp hot sauce (adjust to taste)

Garnish

  • Lime wedges for garnish
  • Optional: maraschino cherry for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Glass with Ice: Fill a glass with ice cubes to chill and create the base for the drink.
  2. Add Fresh Lime Juice: Squeeze about 1 oz (2 tablespoons) of fresh lime juice directly into the glass over the ice.
  3. Add Rum (Optional): For an alcoholic version, pour 1-2 oz of white rum over the lime juice and ice. Skip this step if preparing a non-alcoholic version.
  4. Pour Dr. Pepper Soda: Slowly add the Dr. Pepper soda into the glass, pouring over the ice and lime juice. Leave some space at the top for other ingredients.
  5. Add Worcestershire Sauce: Add 1/2 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce to enhance the drink with a savory, “dirty” flavor that adds depth.
  6. Incorporate Hot Sauce: Add a few dashes of hot sauce according to your spice preference to give the cocktail a zesty kick.
  7. Stir to Combine: Gently stir the mixture to blend all the ingredients evenly without losing carbonation.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim or dropped into the glass. Optionally, add a maraschino cherry for an appealing pop of color.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of hot sauce to suit your heat tolerance.
  • For a sweeter twist, add a splash of cherry syrup or grenadine.
  • Use fresh lime juice for the best bright and tangy flavor.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the full carbonation of the soda.
