Where did this recipe start?

Alexandra Castellanos did a fantastically fun video where she shared her own recipe for making Dr. Pepper without the extra sugar!
Expert Notes
A few things to note before we get started.
The original recipe uses Topo Chico Mineral Water . Because I could not find that around here, we used S. Pellegrino, which is also sparkling water.
I love Dr. Pepper. I drink regular Dr. Pepper as well as Diet. I would say that while this recipe IS an awesome dupe for a “healthier” alternative to a regular soda, its not an exact flavor copy. It does taste like a Diet Dr. Pepper to me, but falls short of the real one. That being said, its a great summer drink so give it a shot!
What flavors are in Dr. Pepper?
The original Dr. Pepper recipe DOES have cherry in it, as well as 23 total flavors that make up their unique recipe. It’s speculated that Dr. Pepper contains amaretto, almond, blackberry, black licorice, caramel, carrot, clove, cherry, cola, ginger, juniper, lemon, molasses, nutmeg, orange, prune, plum, pepper, root beer, rum, raspberry, tomato and vanilla, so quite the variety of flavors.
Copycat Ingredients
This one has only 2 ingredients, which is awesome.
- 33.8 oz. bottle of Pellegrino
- 1 bottle of Mio Black Cherry
How to make TikTok Dr. Pepper
- To get started, I tested just adding a little bit of MIO.
- Just continue adding a bit of Black Cherry flavor until you find the taste that you like the most!
- Swirl (if you shake, you might explode it) and then pour over ice and enjoy!
If you give this a shot, let me know what you think!
Even though nothing really can replace the real version, as far as keeping your sugar down, it does the deed and is packed full of flavor. Plus, Mio has zero carbs, zero sweeteners, and zero sugars!
