Fountain Dr. Pepper Ingredients

Method

Fountain Dr. Pepper Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Begin by selecting a tall glass and fill it with ice cubes. This will help keep your drink chilled and refreshing.

  2. 2

    Add Carbonated Water

    Pour 200 ml of carbonated water over the ice cubes in the glass. This will be the base of your Fountain Dr. Pepper.

  3. 3

    Mix in High Fructose Corn Syrup

    Add 40 ml of high fructose corn syrup to the carbonated water. Stir gently to combine the syrup with the water.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Flavors

    Sprinkle 0.5 tsp of natural and artificial flavors into the mixture. This will give your drink its signature taste.

  5. 5

    Add Phosphoric Acid

    Add a pinch of phosphoric acid (0.1 tsp) to the mixture. This adds a slight tanginess to the drink.

  6. 6

    Include Caffeine

    Add 0.03 tsp of caffeine to the mixture for that energizing kick.

  7. 7

    Color the Drink

    Stir in 0.5 tsp of caramel color to give your drink the classic dark hue of Dr. Pepper.

  8. 8

    Finish with Citric Acid

    Finally, add a pinch (0.02 tsp) of citric acid to enhance the flavor profile. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

  9. 9

    Serve

    Your homemade Fountain Dr. Pepper is ready! Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing taste.
