Southern Comfort NightWatcher Aug 2014 #1
Hmm. I gotta try it. n/m El Supremo Aug 2014 #2
Yep. d_r Aug 2014 #6
You're probably right, but I'm not gonna try it. nomorenomore08 Aug 2014 #16
I have to agree. I'm not much for SoCo ( it's too sweet and I prefer scotch) but SoCo+dr.pep= gold Volaris Aug 2014 #20
Probably something flavorless like vodka or Everclear. onehandle Aug 2014 #3
Should I garnish it with a Jalapeno? n/m El Supremo Aug 2014 #4
Yep, I'd go with vodka shenmue Aug 2014 #5
My step-father mixes Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum with it. Tobin S. Aug 2014 #7
It is a great combo. In_The_Wind Aug 2014 #9
I'll take your word for it. Tobin S. Aug 2014 #10
Yeah. It helps if you really like C M Rum and Dr. Pepper alone. In_The_Wind Aug 2014 #11

When I was a young bartender I had a guy who always ordered a Crown Royal & Dr. Pepper. Swore by it TeamPooka Aug 2014 #8
Now that combo, I might actually attempt. I do like Crown and Dr. P individually. n/t nomorenomore08 Aug 2014 #17
I would use whiskey jmowreader Aug 2014 #12

After a couple of really bad SoCo experiences as a young lad, even a faint whiff of the stuff makes me queasy.

Seems like such a distinct flavor such as Dr. Pepper would clash with just about anything flavored.

It's an acquired taste. I found out they mix well together one night when that was all I had in the house.

Dr Pepper brings back BAD memories...the person I knew who drank the most of it was the purest form of psychopath available. But if you want to drink it...throw a shot of Jim Beam in the shit and call it good.

The resulting beverage would have a strong fizzy fruity taste. I think it'd be pleasant.

When I was underage I would spike my Diet Dr. Pepper with the only booze that was in the house - these 2 bottles of rum that were hidden away under a cabinet. It was actually quite yummy!!!

you didn't have enough of them.


But I bet the Orlando Airport Marriott now has a policy regarding the number of them they will give to a fella.


Ironically, there's no Dr. Pepper in them.
