if anyone would be so kind and give me a hand getting the doc pepper flavor down ive tried and tried just can not get it at all. thanks in advance!
I believe the cherry component you're looking for to emulate the Dr. Pepper taste is Maraschino.
Ha! I knew I had seen it somewhere......Vapor Renu
Flavor Extracts
they have 2 flavorings for dr. pepper.....scroll to the bottom of their list....under soda-dr. pepper type....I think one is by flavorwest....but I don't see it on the flavorwest site....
HealthCabin dot net out of China sells a Dr. Pepper flavoring but it's comprised of 7 or 8 flavors you buy individually. Never tried it. Could be a good place to start for a list of flavors anyway.
Maraschino adds almond I think, but there probably is some particular cherry chemical used too.
Maraschino is cherry. You're probably thinking of Amaretto, which adds an almond-ish flavor.
After Prohibition was repealed in 1933 the Food and Drug Administration revisited federal policy toward canned cherries. It held a hearing in April 1939 to establish a new standard of identity. Since 1940, "maraschino cherries" have been defined as "cherries which have been dyed red, impregnated with sugar and packed in a sugar sirup [sic] flavored with oil of bitter almonds or a similar flavor".[2]
