Equipment

  • 1 Tall Collins glass
  • 1 Long bar spoon for layering the syrup and cream

Ingredients

For the Drink

  • 12 oz Dr Pepper, chilled
  • 2 tbsp cookie butter syrup Torani or Monin
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream or half and half
  • 1 cup crushed ice
  • 1 tbsp crushed cookie crumbs for the rim and garnish, optional

Instructions

Prep the Glass

  • Wet the rim of a tall glass with a little cream, then dip it in crushed cookie crumbs. Skip this step if you are not using a rim.
  • Fill the glass about two-thirds full with crushed or pebble ice.

Build the Soda

  • Slowly pour chilled Dr Pepper over the ice, leaving about 1.5 inches of space at the top of the glass.
  • If the cookie butter syrup looks thick, set the bottle in a cup of hot water for 1 minute to loosen it.
  • Drizzle the cookie butter syrup over the back of a spoon so it settles just under the surface of the soda.

Add the Cream

  • Slowly pour the heavy cream over the back of a spoon, letting it float on top rather than stirring it in.
  • Wait 10 to 15 seconds without touching the glass so the layers separate visibly.
  • Top with extra cookie crumbs if using, and serve immediately while the ice is still crunchy.

Notes

Warm the cookie butter syrup bottle in hot water if it looks thick -- it pours and layers better warm. Use half and half instead of heavy cream for a lighter version. Best sipped within a few minutes before the layers mix together.
