Vodka and Dr Pepper Cocktail

Does Dr Pepper go well with vodka? Yes vodka and Dr Pepper is a delicious cocktail to try.

What is a vodka and dr pepper?

Avada and Dr Pepper is exactly what you probably think it is. It is a cocktail made of those two ingredients.

Vodka has a reputation of being easy to mix in with other ingredients and not really changing their taste. Vodka does not have a particularly strong taste except for the bite of the alcohol. Assuming you get a high quality vodka that bite tends to be a little smoother.

There are also flavored vodkas which you can also use to mix with Dr pepper. If you’re going the flavored vodka route I would recommend a cherry or vanilla vodka as that will complement the flavors in the Dr Pepper well.

As you may or may not know Dr Pepper is a combination of 23 flavors in one drink. This can make the taste confusing to describe. However, some strong flavors that come out in the drink are spices, cherry, licorice, and vanilla.

As mentioned above, since vodka does not tend to have much of a taste, this drink basically tastes like Dr Pepper with a bite.

There are other liquors when mixed with alcohol that can get a similar flavor profile. Those are Tequila and Dr Pepper or Gin and Dr Pepper.
