Paging Dr Pepper to the ER...

[Doc Holliday]

So I'm sitting here playing with some colas, and fruit flavors trying to find the elusive Dr Pepper that I've read so much about with no success.

This patient is going code blue fast, and I'm not sure if even House can help at this point, but I thought I'd throw it up on the board and see if anyone's been able to find a cure.

So what say you, do you have a reasonable fascimile of my favorite soft drink in your recipe box?

(I'll have to wait til tomorrow to give it a try as I've just dumped half a bottle of Black Cherry flavoring in my lap and thats all I can smell or taste right now... I may have to burn these jammies...)

I would try some Flavor Apprentice Plum

What's up Doc?

I've seen TPA/TFA Plum touted as a Dr. P flavor. I tried it and can see it as a base, but haven't had time to play with additions to get it close.

BTW: Great avatar.

Haven't really tried alot of DIG or mixing juices yet. But, Doc, I do like your hat.

I can tell how not to make Dr. P.
Some Flavor West flavorings are good but their Dr Pepper is the worst flavor I've experienced.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Thanks for the compliments... I'm sure Clint would be proud.

Yeah, Plum is definitely a major ingredient.
The problems I'm having are with the cola and other fruit flavors.

Maybe I'll have better luck with the Flavour Art cola when it gets here later this week.

On a sidenote, has anyone found a good cherry that actually tastes like cherries and not a coughdrop?

You are funny too

TPA's Cherry Blossom comes close, but I gave up the search for an acceptable cherry flavor awhile ago. Maybe someone else has found that grail.

FlavourArt Black Cherry isn't bad in low percentages. I would try adding it to the plum, because Dr Pepper definitely has some cherry in it.

I would think you'd also need a little acidic bite in there too, maybe some citric or malic acid. Lemon flavoring might work.
