History & Origin

The Dr Pepper shot achieves the impossible - tasting like the famous 23-flavor soda without any soda at all. This non-flaming version combines amaretto with a splash of cola for an easier, safer take on the Flaming Dr Pepper. The almond notes from amaretto somehow replicate the distinctive soda flavor.
