Warm up your winter evenings with a nostalgic classic—Hot Dr Pepper, a surprisingly delightful twist on your favorite soda! This simple recipe transforms a can of Dr Pepper into a cozy, fizzy treat by gently heating it until warm and fragrant. A thin slice of fresh lemon is added as a garnish, creating a bright citrus aroma that perfectly complements the soda’s signature blend of 23 flavors. Ready in under 10 minutes, this retro beverage is an easy-to-make drink that pairs perfectly with holiday gatherings or a quiet night by the fire. Whether you're hosting guests or exploring vintage recipes, Hot Dr Pepper is a unique way to elevate your winter drink game.
Pour 12 fluid ounces (1 standard can or bottle) of Dr Pepper into a small saucepan.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and warm the Dr Pepper until it begins to steam, about 4-5 minutes. Do not let it boil.
While the Dr Pepper is heating, slice a fresh lemon into thin rounds and set aside.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully pour the hot Dr Pepper into a heatproof mug.
Garnish the mug with 1 slice of lemon, letting it float on top or placing it along the rim.
Serve immediately and enjoy the warmth!
