Can We Clone The Doctor? Dr Pepper Recipe Hack Episode #1

  • Can We Clone The Doctor? Episode #1 This is going to be tough… There are (as the bottle says) 23 flavours in Dr Pepper; but what are they? The internet is full of theories, and lists; some of them make sense and some of them don’t. I have to admit - most of the lists contain ‘flavours’ that are compound flavours like ‘cola’ and ‘Root Beer’ so I don’t know how much I trust them.
    There is also a formula book that surfaced from the Old Corner Drugstore in Waco Texas where Dr Pepper was invented. It contains a formula for ‘Dr Peppers Pepsin Bitters’ - but the handwriting is is scribbled that no-one can agree what it says.
    Here is our first on-camera attempt:
    Ingredients:
    1L (4 cups) water
    175g dried prunes
    130g raspberries
    2 vanilla beans, split
    15g dry wintergreen leaves
    8g whole cloves
    2g peppercorns
    20g chopped ginger
    2.5g ground nutmeg
    2g (around 10 pods) cardamom
    6g cinnamon stick
    4 juniper berries
    3g cut and sifted wild cherry bark
    3g liquorice bark
    3g sarsaparilla
    2g cut and sifted gentian root
    800g sugar
    10g citric acid
    15 mL molasses
    30 mL pure almond extract
    10 mL cherry extract
    5 mL lemon extract
    5 mL orange extract
    2 mL star anise extract
    Method:
    In a saucepan, combine the water, fruit, spices, and herbs.
    Bring to a boil and then remove from the heat and add the cherry bark, liquorice bark, sarsaparilla, and gentian root.
    Let steep for 30 to 45 minutes.
    Strain out the solid ingredients and return the water to the saucepan.
    Add the sugar, citric acid and molasses and heat until dissolved.
    Remove the syrup from the heat.
    Stir in the extracts.
    45mL of syrup mixed into 350 mL of soda water is a great place to start - you can adjust based on your tastes.
    For the Darcy O'neil book "Fix The Pumps" and the Acid Phosphate: shop.artofdrink.com/shop
    This is a list of flavours, compiled from all of the online lists of the Dr Pepper flavour profile:
    cola (??)
    cherry
    liquorice

    vanilla
    blackberry

      Exactly. Not sure about the cinnamon though.
      I'm drinking Dr. Pepper as I'm writing this.
      It has a flavour of a mildly bitter cherry. (if that makes sense) or may be it's a hint of spice from cinnamon not sure. it's so saddle ... I just love it.
      The cherries that I remember from my childhood grandmothers garden had a pretty similar flavour,they were darker in colour than normal ones
      Point being... that the main ingredient ,when trying to replicate Dr. Peppers flavour, should be the cherries .

    Years ago I remember somebody telling me at a luncheon, that their grandad use to work at Dr Pepper and made the syrup mix for Dr Pepper. He said that his grandad told him that Dr Pepper does not contain any prune juice whatsoever. All he would reveal to me was that it was a unique type of cherry extract. This extract is what gave Dr Pepper the prune taste, but without the prunes. Also he stated, the reason why no body has been able to copy the taste is because the amounts have to be exact otherwise any deviation will cause the product to taste nothing like Dr. Pepper. Many off brands now have totally given up on making Dr. Pepper using real ingredients and have opted to use artificial flavoring to get the product to taste similar to it. This of course being a shortcut and not a good one at that. In the end it gives the drink a weird aftertaste. Of course I have no idea of the validity of this man's statement but you can take it for what its worth. I just always found it interesting. Anyway the smell of a old time soda fountain shop, was the taste profile of the drink. It was basically taking a smell and making it drinkable.

      In high school I gave a Dr. Pepper to an exchange student from Finland. He took a sip and said that it tastes more like Dr. Medicine. He drank it all anyway. I’ve heard that if you grow up without trying it, soft drinks like Coke and Dr. Pepper are strange to an adult palette. I still don’t understand why anyone would drink Moxie. It was like drinking a fizzy Jaegermeister without any alcohol. I did try some of the strange drinks at the Coca-Cola World tasting room, like Beverly soda from Italy. Very bitter, but I kind of liked it after the initial shock of bitter faded.

      Yeah Moxie stands alone in the soda world.

He warned us it tasted like cough syrup and that's pretty much how I always remembered it...awful! Fast forward like 25 years and I'm vacationing in Vermont not long ago and there it is in the local convenience store. I drank it down and really liked it this time...not that much different than birch or root beers, only with a slight medicinal quality. Actually quite refreshing. Time changes everything!

    I'm old enough to remember when Dr Pepper was only available in the US. Being my favourite soft drink, when I was younger I used to look forward to having it either on the plane to Florida for a holiday, if we were flying on an US airline or getting one from the vending machines at the car rental places. I'm sure many people also remember that soda cans used to be much bigger in the US than in Canada and that it was probably only in the early '90's that they increased the size of Canadian cans.

    I like almonds, but I can't stand almond flavoured things like marzipan. For years anytime I've tasted something that was labelled as 'cherry flavoured', it's always tasted strongly of almond (not the nut itself), and hence I don't like it. I'm usually told that I'm insane for thinking they taste alike.

    You are working off a base recipe that you modified. I'd love to know the rationale for your choices given the exotic nature of your ingredients.

    Just a couple of observations of my own: When I smell the actual drink, I detect a floral note like rose.
    Also, you have to remember that Dr Pepper originated in a small Texas city around the year 1885. So I don't see how the drink could contain any fruit or fruit juice since these are perishable and would likely not always be available throughout the year in that era.

    You certainly have a point about the similarity of almond and cherry flavouring.

Fortunately I like marzipan, so I ate it anyway, but it wasn't quite what I expected it to be.
