Dr Pepper Rum cocktail kit

A glass of cola with ice cubes garnished with a maraschino cherry and a lime wedge, placed on a wooden tray.

This cocktail is a smooth, fizzy, and slightly spiced drink that combines the bold flavor of Dr Pepper with the warm depth of rum. The soda brings its signature blend of cherry, vanilla, and spice notes, while the rum enhances those flavors with a subtle caramel and spice finish. It’s refreshing, easy to drink, and tastes familiar—almost like an elevated soda with a kick.
