what does dr pepper taste like

Dr Pepper is a unique soda with a combination of 23 different flavors, which is why it is difficult to describe its taste. Some people say it has a hint of cherry, a trace of liquorice, or a slight nutty flavor. Others describe it as having a peppery taste, with hints of vanilla and citrus. The 23 flavors that make up Dr Pepper include cola, cherry, licorice, amaretto (almond, vanilla, blackberry, apricot, blackberry, caramel, pepper, anise, sarsaparilla, ginger, molasses, lemon, plum, orange, nutmeg, cardamon, all spice, coriander juniper, birch, and prickly ash). The original recipe of Dr Pepper is a closely guarded secret, and although often imitated, it has never been duplicated. Dr Pepper was created in 1885 by pharmacist Charles Alderton in Waco, Texas, and it was marketed nationally in America in 1904 as a new kind of soda pop.
