- Adjust the amount of sugar depending on the sweetness of your raspberries or personal preference.
- Try swapping Dr. Pepper for a different soda like cola or cream soda to create new flavor combinations.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute half-and-half with coconut milk or another plant-based creamer.

FAQs
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
It’s best to prepare the raspberry puree and coconut cream mixture ahead, but combine them with the soda and ice just before serving to keep the fizz fresh.
What can I use instead of coconut extract?
If you don’t have coconut extract, you can use coconut syrup or a small amount of coconut milk for a similar flavor, or omit it for a simpler raspberry cream soda.
