Dr Pepper Strawberries and Cream Soda • 12 x 12 oz
Dr Pepper Strawberries & Cream in the 12-pack of 12 fl oz (355ml) cans is a permanent addition to the Dr Pepper lineup, blending the iconic "23 flavors" of the original soda with a smooth, dessert-like finish. This variety pairs the signature peppery, spiced base of Dr Pepper with a lush, sweet strawberry flavor and a creamy, vanilla-forward aftertaste.
Core Ingredients
The formula is designed to deliver a rich, multilayered taste experience:
-
Carbonated Water: Provides the standard high-effervescence "fizz" expected from a dark soda.
-
High Fructose Corn Syrup: The primary sweetener that contributes to its syrupy, indulgent mouthfeel.
-
Phosphoric Acid: Adds the necessary "bite" to balance the heavy cream and fruit notes.
-
Natural and Artificial Flavors: A proprietary blend that incorporates the traditional Dr Pepper spices alongside distinct strawberry and cream essences.
-
Sodium Benzoate: Included as a preservative to maintain the freshness of the delicate fruit flavors.
-
Caffeine: Provides a mild stimulant effect consistent with the original Dr Pepper formula.

Key Characteristics
-
Creamy Mouthfeel: Unlike the "crisp" finish of regular Dr Pepper, this version has a rounded, smoother texture that mimics the sensation of a strawberry cream soda or a float.
-
Balanced Complexity: The strawberry flavor is "jammy" and sweet, but the underlying 23-flavor spice blend prevents it from tasting like a standard fruit soda.
-
Caffeine Content: At 41mg per can, it contains slightly more caffeine than a classic Coca-Cola (34mg) but less than a Mountain Dew (54mg).
-
Multi-Pack Convenience: The 12-pack is the standard format for home stocking, offering the best value for fans of this specialty flavor.
Usage Tip: This soda is exceptionally well-suited for a "Dirty Soda" preparation. Try mixing it with a splash of heavy cream or coconut syrup and a squeeze of fresh lime over pebble ice for a trendy, customized treat.
