Dr Pepper Dark Berry Edition (Candy Mail) By @Cinabar

This Dr Pepper Dark Berry Edition is an imported drink, because you rarely see limited edition flavours of Dr Pepper here in the UK. I don’t know why, perhaps one day this will change. In the meantime, I do like having a look at the import stores and seeing what I can find that I wouldn’t get here.

Dr Pepper Dark Berry Edition has been released in celebration of the latest Jurassic World movie. As much as I love a new drink, I’m not sure what the connection between dinosaurs and berry flavour is, but perhaps I’m overthinking it. A tenuous link that one of the dinos is called ‘Blue’? The can looks smart though and even has dinosaurs on the side. I poured the drink out and was intrigued to see if there was a touch of blue to the colour. Fortunately, it was the usual dark brown drink. I gave it a sip and the taste was pretty much regular Dr Pepper but with a nice aftertaste of blueberries, which worked really well.

The flavour was nice, complimented by a softer taste of fruit and, as a drink, I really enjoyed. I’m glad the berries didn’t add too much extra sweetness, as Dr Pepper is sweet anyway, but this was a nice twist on the original.
