McDonald's Dirty Dr. Pepper 16 Oz Complete Information

A McDonald's Dirty Dr Pepper (16 Oz.) costs $4.39 and carries 220 calories with 25mg of caffeine. Dr Pepper with cream and vanilla, made to order.

The dirty soda format came out of Utah and reached national chains in the 2020s: soda with cream and flavored syrup, served over ice. This is McDonald's version. Against a plain $2.69 Dr Pepper (Small) at 190 calories and 55mg of caffeine, this is a larger serve with cream added, and interestingly less caffeine per drink at 25mg. It is one of the soda specials the feed files under McCafe rather than Drinks, alongside $4.39 Sprite Berry Blast and $4.39 Orange Dream with Fanta. Pair it with a McDouble at $4.19.
