We are huge football lovers in this house. If our team is playing, you will find us watching the game at my in-laws house on my mother in law’s big screen TV or in the comfort of our own home, cheering our team on, snacking on some delicious food, and with our favorite drink in hand. This year we will be watching the big game from home since we finally have our twins home, BUT I put together a fun little idea that you can do at home with just you and your little family or for throwing a party on game day. I created a Mini Dr Pepper “bar.” We loved experiments with different flavors and the boys loved making their own drinks!
To make your own Mini Dr Pepper bar, head to Kroger and get:
– Dr Pepper, Diet Dr Pepper, and or Dr Pepper ten. {I used Dr Pepper and Diet Dr Pepper.}
– Lemons and Limes.
– Cherry + the cherry juice.
– Vanilla flavoring.
– Any other flavors you think your guests will want to experiment with.
I simply cut up the lemons and limes, put them in a small dish, then I put cherries in another dish. If you are using this for a party idea, you will definitely need a bigger bowl to hold your extra ingredients! For our little family though, these small containers were enough.
Then, we poured Dr Pepper or Diet Dr Pepper in our cups and started adding the flavors we loved! I added cherries and cherry syrup to mine and it tasted SO yummy! We added lemon + lime with the diet Dr Pepper and that was good too!!
I can’t wait to use this idea for future parties, I really think people would love making their own flavor of drinks!
Are you a Dr Pepper lover? If so, what is your favorite flavor?! I’m down for some regular Dr Pepper anytime, but cherry Dr Pepper is my jam!
