Review: Dr. Pepper Strawberry and Cream

When the oldsters at Dr. Pepper aren’t busy mixing collectively a soda fountain as many random flavors as doable whereas nonetheless sipping their drink (in some way 23 is the magic quantity), they’re clearly within the enterprise of rising berries. In 2006 Dr. Pepper launched Berries & Cream and 2019 noticed Dr. Pepper Darkish Berry. The newest journey to the spot brings us Strawberries & Cream. This selection, with its pink label and strawberry taste, appears to be like like it might be a restricted version Valentine’s Day deal with, but it surely’s truly set to be a everlasting addition to the lineup.

The primary whiff upon opening the bottle is unquestionably strawberry ahead. It jogs my memory extra of strawberry fudge than actual strawberries, however as somebody who eats extra strawberry fudge than fruit, I do not essentially think about {that a} dangerous factor. The sub-chili kick that makes Dr. Pepper distinctive is not totally misplaced within the flavors of strawberry and cream, although it is far more subdued right here. I discovered the flavors clean and drinkable, however I want there was one thing extra distinctive. Whereas scrumptious, it was form of underwhelming.

I believe the cream may very well be a little bit clearer, and possibly additionally Dr. Pepper. There’s simply one thing about this that feels flat to me, which brings me to my subsequent subject – it is actually a bit flat. I attempted this straight from the bottle and poured it over ice, and it appeared loads much less carbonated than regular. There was a slight fizz at first, but it surely immediately disappeared. I do not know if this needed to do with the formulation or if I simply received a person batch, however I missed the bubbles.

I admire Dr. Pepper’s nod to the previous soda fountain themes and thought this new concoction can be a wonderful base for an ice cream float. As a standalone drink, it lacks one thing, and I am unsure I might have chosen it for a full-time product. Contemplating that there are a couple of strawberry delicate drinks in the marketplace, I can see followers of this taste actually having fun with this one. But it surely’s price noting that the opposite one that tried it with me discovered strawberries to be medicinal. I would think about this a enjoyable new drink, however to me, it is simply not the cream of the crop.

It ought to be famous that this additionally is available in a sugar-free model. Dr Pepper has a historical past of being fussy with these options, however sadly, it wasn’t obtainable in my retailer but.
