Anyone else ever heard of this? There is a write-up in the Press about it being around as early as the 50's with marketing slogans, etc. Apparently you heat it on the stove and pour in a mug with a lemon slice at the bottom. So have I been under a rock, or is this a lot less known about? Here is the article: http://blogs.houstonpress.com/eating/2011/01/hot_dr_pepper_with_lemon_the_u.php
I love it. They serve it at the Dr. Pepper Museum in Waco. I used to get it with extra lemon. Delicious.
My best friend's wife has mentioned something similar before, IIRC. I'm thinking maybe putting a lemon drop candy in the Dr. Pepper and then warming them together?
I would have assumed any of us older guys would have known about hot Dr. Pepper. I remember the TV ads as a kid.
I heard hot Dr. Pepper goes great with cold pizza. Seriously, I'm with you on this one, Fatty. Have never heard of it.
I like Dr. Pepper on Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream, but I'm open to trying it this other way. Would it melt the ice cream?
Mmmkay. I decided to try this tonight, so I brought it over to my folks. I even bought some JB bourbon if it needed that kick. My entire family reaction? Meh. It wasn't necessarily unenjoyable, but was not worth the ten minutes on the stove. I am a Texan, and I truly enjoy things that are Texan. But that one needs to be ol' Yeller'd down by the pasture. If you like Dr. Pepper, don't ruin it this way.
