One of the best things about the return of fall is the cozy, spice-filled drinks the season brings. From the iconic pumpkin spice latte to the classic mulled apple cider, these tasty sips epitomize all the comfort of the long-awaited "-ber" months. With the popular dirty soda trend showing no signs of slowing down, you can now spice up your Dr Pepper even further with an easy-to-make pumpkin cold foam. To give your soda a rich and creamy fall twist, just reach for a helping of pumpkin spice syrup and heavy whipping cream.

This creamy concoction has increased in popularity with videos across social media showcasing the upgrade — and for good reason. Adding another layer of complexity, the flavored cold foam pairs especially well with Dr Pepper because it brings out the spiced notes typical of the soda and its 23 secret flavors. To make your own, you simply froth together pumpkin spice syrup (like Torani Pumpkin Spice Syrup) with some heavy cream until it becomes light and fluffy. Then you can spoon the cold foam right on top of your ice-cold Dr Pepper and get to sipping, or stir it into the drink to evenly distribute the pumpkin spice flavor. 

To customize this fall-inspired dirty Dr Pepper to your liking, you can experiment with different amounts of pumpkin flavoring or explore other alternatives to the spiced syrup altogether, like cinnamon or maple-flavored options. A splash of creamer (like International Delight Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer) or even a mix of cream and store-bought pumpkin pie spice seasoning can help you achieve the same cozy flavor profile while better appealing to your taste buds and time constraints. You might also consider a sugar-free creamer paired with a Diet Dr Pepper for a low-sugar spin. With so many Dr Pepper varieties (we've tried and ranked 11 of them), you'll have enough options to keep your experiments fresh all season long.

One fan of the dirty soda upgrade commented on Reddit that the addition of pumpkin spice creamer made their Dr Pepper taste "a lot like Ginger Bread/Ginger Snaps." Another Redditor cosigned the flavor pairing based on their experience with a slightly different riff — mixing coconut Dr Pepper with pumpkin pie ice cream. Between the different Dr Pepper bases and the various add-ins that stay faithful to fall flavors, the possibilities are practically endless when it comes to tailoring this treat.
