Dr. Pepper just got better – no vanilla bullshit, no berries and cream shiznez, no pomegranate yuckiness – MOTHER FUCKIN’ CHERRY!
Just got to try out the new Cherry Dr. Pepper (non diet) last night and wow was I impressed. It’s way tasty and my new favorite sweet pop (amongst the ranks of Fanta or Sunkist Orange, Barq’s Root Beer, and fountain Coca Cola). Not an everyday beverage as there are 110 calories and 28 grams of sugar per can, but a pleasing treat to look forward to this summer. The cherry flavoring does a really great job of calming that bubbly, harsh taste of Dr. Pepper. Not to sound market-y or generic, but it goes down quite smooth!
Dr. Pepper is generally not served at bars so there aren’t a lot of drink recipes out there and not one specifically for Cherry Dr. Pepper. In general they suggest mixing DP with such liquors as brandy, whiskey, and amaretto (a definite ew for our purposes); I think both the brandy or whiskey could be great and you’d just have to add a splash of grenadine if the drank got too strong! Yum! Let me know if you think of anything that will alcoholically enhance this new favorite soda pop.
Gene Simmons is the spokesperson for the new flavor launch because Cherry Dr. Pepper offers just a KISS of cherry to your watering mouth.
Here’s the commercial:
Here’s what I would look like if I were asked to be the KISS spokesperson for Cherry Dr. Pepper (wildly less effective than Mr. Simmons):
Ali is KISS
