Can I make Dirty Coconut Coke ahead of time?

This drink comes together so fast that it’s really best made just before serving. If you’re prepping for a crowd, you can premix the Coke, lime, and cream of coconut and keep it chilled, then just layer on the coconut milk for each drink when ready to serve.

What’s the best cream of coconut to use?

Use a sweetened cream of coconut like Coco Real. It makes all the difference in flavor and creaminess. Regular coconut milk or coconut cream just won’t bring the same sweet, tropical punch.

Is Dirty Coconut Coke vegan and dairy-free?

If your cream of coconut and coconut milk are vegan (most are, but always double-check the labels), then yes! There’s no dairy involved.

Can I make this less sweet?

Of course! Use a little less cream of coconut or try half-and-half with coconut cream for less sugar and a more subtle coconut flavor.

Instructions

Combine Base Ingredients: In a highball glass, pour 8 oz. Coca-Cola, 1/2 oz. cream of coconut, and 1/4 oz. fresh lime juice. This mixture forms the sweet, creamy and tangy foundation of your drink.
Add Ice: Top off the glass with medium-sized ice cubes. This helps chill and slightly dilute the drink for maximum refreshment.
Stir Gently: Using a spoon or stirrer, gently mix the ingredients together for about 5 seconds to fully blend the flavors without losing carbonation.
Add Coconut Milk: Slowly pour in 2 oz. unsweetened coconut milk to the side of the glass. This gradual addition creates a beautiful layered, gradient effect and adds a rich, creamy texture.
Garnish and Serve: Finish the drink by garnishing with a lime wedge on the rim. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

For the best gradient, pour the coconut milk very slowly over the ice.
You can substitute diet or zero-sugar Coke if desired.
Ensure cream of coconut is well shaken before measuring.
Add more lime juice for extra tartness.
