Dr Pepper is one of the most recognizable American soft drinks. Created in 1885 in Texas, it has stood out ever since with its unique “pepper” profile that combines 23 flavors. If you’re wondering what it actually tastes like, the closest description would be: rich, aromatic, and layered, with notes that unfold beautifully with every sip.
Today, Dr Pepper is part of the Keurig Dr Pepper group (not owned by Coca-Cola), and its presence continues to grow across Europe. In our selection you can try Vanilla Float and Strawberries & Cream — perfect for those “dessert-soda” moments — as well as the fruity classic Cherry. For collectors, there’s also the UK 330 ml, while among the limited editions, the standout Blackberry sells out quickly.
What to expect in ingredients and sweetness
Like most soft drinks, Dr Pepper is a non-alcoholic beverage with carbonated water, flavors, and a sweetness level that may vary by market and variant. For the most accurate details, always check the label on the packaging of the specific product (e.g. Vanilla Float or Cherry). Looking for a lighter option? In our American drinks collection, we often have reduced-sugar or “zero” styles available, depending on stock.
Why Dr Pepper is so sought-after
Beyond its strong heritage and unique taste, the brand has adapted perfectly to modern habits — from “float” servings to creative recipes. If you love contrasting flavors, Dr Pepper pairs wonderfully with American salty snacks: the spiciness of Takis and the cheesy richness of Cheetos enhance its aroma, while the citrus notes from Fanta sodas add a refreshing fruity lift.
From its origins to today’s favorites
The story of Dr Pepper begins in Waco, Texas, before quickly becoming an American classic featured in ads, movies, and stadiums. Today, it’s most often chosen by those seeking something different from cola. That’s why in our Dr Pepper collection we regularly restock to bring you special editions like Blackberry, alongside timeless favorites like Vanilla Float, Strawberries & Cream, and Cherry.
How to serve and when to enjoy
The best experience comes when it’s served well chilled, over ice, or as a float with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a “movie night,” pair it with spicy Takis chips or cheesy Cheetos snacks; if you prefer fruity pairings, add a glass from our Fanta collection.
