How are you doing this Christmas season Greg?
The difference is in your organs and that you don't want diabetes which is caused by corn syrup.
Would flaming Dr Pepper be considered hot? I seriously thought that would be the drink of this title.
I once bought a rum that was supposed to be kinda whiskey-like. It tasted exactly like beef jerky. When combined with Dr pepper (the only thing we had at the time) it was soooo much worse. The flavors didn't mix and it ended hard on the Jerry flavor!
Where is Meredith?
Sounds like you and Max from Tasting History need to get together over a nice hot glass of Dr Pepper
Greg: "Yeah I'm definitely getting notes of *insert improvised Greg metaphors*
Max: "Sure, I would definitely say it tastes like... Dr. Pepper, but... hot."
Greg and Max give such different but complimentary energies. Seeing them do a collab could be a lot of fun!
@@sael91a drinking history collab perhaps?
@@SleepyFenHow to drink history?
It’s an unspoken rule that every food/drink RUclipsr has to try Hot Dr. Pepper at some point in their career.
I love how Greg's first instinct is always to add angostura bitters to literally anything
You see how giddy he was to try it after? 😄😄 I love that editing on that too
He really does love the ango.
These cookies are ok, but it's missing something.
A N G O S T U R A B I T T E R S
He's addicted.
I love that you can tell how many episodes Greg has recorded in a day (read: how drunk he is at the start of a new episode) by the state of his hair
This definitely gives off "need to get one more video out of this session but Greg is already shitfaced so we need to do something non-alcoholic" vibes.
@@RacingVagabond And then Greg is like "But what if, and hear me out here -- *rum*?!"
I was just about to say the same thing. When he was fumbling with the bottles I thought, "Oh, he's hammered!" 😂 It was a long day for Greg.
@@mbpascal seems to be a theme around holidays, especially.
Greg: “Gotta get as much done as I can, in the limited time I have before the next big day!”
2 seconds in and I thought the same. 🤣
How about an episode where Greg makes drinks based on holiday desserts. Fruit cake, gumdrop cake, gingersnaps, gingerbread men, etc.
THIS THIS RIGHT HERE
Steamed pudding! Those flavours would be terrific in a drink.
Okay, okay, I see you!
@@sirsulley8110 Who dis?
@@McRootbeer Meant your comment! I want to see that
The reason the fake sweetness/metallic taste went away is because aspartame denatures when heated. What you were tasting was diet soda without the artificial sweetener.
:0 you've changed my life
Oh that sounds WAY better,I hate that crap and need to experiment with cooking it out now
@@ffwast So you just want bitter unsweetened diet soda...?
@@Mad-Lad-Chad its better than normal diet soda.
Fun fact, Dr Pepper strawberries and cream was intended to be a seasonal item released only for summer 2023, but it sold so well and was in such high demand they decided to make it a permanent product. In my home town it is often sold out and I have to go to obscure grocery stores to get it
First Tasting History and now How To Drink? Why do I feel like Hot Dr Pepper is gonna become a thing again? 🤣
History is cyclic.
I was about to mention that. I find it hard to believe he wasn't inspired by Max, I'm hoping it's just a coincidence because I'd be bummed if he deliberately avoided a shoutout to one of my other favorite RUclipsrs
@@DetChesmondlet's assume good intentions maybe (greg says he doesnt watch max)
@@mikey-wl2jt I'm definitely inclined to hope for/assume good intentions, Greg is one of the top contenders for the coveted "least likely to be a scumbag irl" award amongst internet personalities. Out of curiosity, where did he say he doesn't watch him?
(Edit - had to go back to work before I could finish the video, will finish later but if he mentions it here I'll accept the egg on my face)
@@DetChesmond he spoke to it in a comment a few minutes ago, but it's not top any more
Someone's been watching Tasting History with Max Miller
I came here to comment the same thing
As everyone should.
I saw his published right after I shot mine. In all seriousness, if I was inspired by another RUclipsr I'd say so. The reality is that I barely watch anything on the platform because I don't really have time.
Thank you. I was scratching my head here wondering all the time where i'd seen this 'hot Dr pepper' thing before.
Good Thing, though, as H2DT covers avery different angle thank Max.
@@howtodrink I'd actually love a collab with you and him.
No love for Cherry Dr. Pepper? It’s ok Greg, most grocery stores don’t carry it any more. Thank you for continuing to try the things that I’m too scared to.
CHERRY DR PEP is my fav coke.
how bout a cherry dp vs cheerwine shootout
every time I try one I think it's better than the other and I can never decide
@@insederec Cheerwine. Dr Pepper already has cherry in it. Adding more throws it out of whack and makes it taste like some Dr K/Mr Pibb "we have Dr Pepper at home" knock-off crap. Cheerwine is always Cheerwine.
as much as i love Cherry DR. Pepper, I also love the Dark berry flavor that they had i don't know if its still sold anywhere.
since Dr Pepper is already a cherry soda I like to joke that cherry Dr Pepper is just Dr Pepper flavored Dr Pepper lol
I was wondering what felt different yet nostalgic about this video, and I realized that this is very reminiscent of the single cocktail-focused episodes of yore, where Greg went into the history of the drink. I realize you run out of cocktails at some point, but I do hope there's room for those kind of videos again.
Hey Greg, I recently watched On the Town, which I assume you've seen being a fan of old movies. About an hour into the picture, Frank Sinatra asks a waiter about a cocktail called an "Explodo Bomberino", which apparently consists of "4 kinds of rum, brandy, grenadine, lime juice, papaya juice, and the white of 1 duck egg". Thought it might be fun for a video! "Ridiculous cocktails dreamt up by Hollywood" type of thing.
I fully expect to see John Green's comment on this video soon. He loves Dr Pepper and the story about the hot version of this soda!
How do we send it to him?
Why wasn't there a collaboration?
The collaboration the internet didn’t know it needed.
I gotta say... Mexican Coke with real sugar takes surprisingly different than the stuff with corn syrup.
I wonder how much of that is from the glass bottles? IMO the glass bottles make every soda taste better.
@@bombber123 I made sure to test glass on glass and was convinced.
@@dwhamm0 I've tried it, can't find a difference personally. Nothing beyond the normal variance between bottling plants that use different water anyway.
I can't speak to a flavor difference, but I always found corn syrup soda has a thicker texture that leaves my mouth feeling gross which cane sugar soda doesn't do.
It has more of a cola flavor to it I find. Not quite as sweet either
Immediate flashbacks to a Brendan Fraser film about a man who lived his entire life in a fallout shelter, and his father (played by Christopher Walken) enjoys a hot Dr. Pepper from time to time.
Blast from the Past?
@@Egan-pop Indeed.
@@scienceguy8 I'll have to check that movie out. The premise sounds interesting and Brendan Fraser is awesome.
@@Egan-pop You will not be disappointed.
lol i remember that
This is a real... Blast From The Past!
Blast From the Past is a late 90s film featuring hot Dr. Pepper, with Brendan Fraiser, Christopher Walken, and Alecia Silverstone (and a young and unknown Nathan Fillion) and one of my most nostalgic comedies. Go watch it.
I was hoping I wasnt the only one who recalled this!
“They drink it hot?”
I always assumed the Hot Dr. Pepper was just drinking it at room temperature. Had no idea this was a real thing.
I thought they made that up for the movie until a few years ago. Like the writers went, "the dad is eccentric, let's have him drink hot soda."
I've personally done a blind taste test of cola with sugar vs corn syrup and there's definitely a difference. I got it right 100% of the time, and most others could tell a difference too. It's slightly in the flavour but also in the mouthfeel.
100% mouth feel. HFCS just coats your mouth, so gross.
Yeah, HFCS has a burn to it that almost reminds me of citrus? Not real oranges, but Tang or Hi-C. I don't like it, but I'm usually able to ignore it.
My best buddy and me were both Coke drinkers in the early 80s. We noticed that suddenly some Cokes were different, having both a syrupy, clingy mouthfeel and strange and not pleasant taste. At first it was only a can/bottle (or sixpack) here and there, but eventually more and more until eventually they all tasted that way. That was about the time I gave up Coke and pop in general.
I didn't find out until many years later that our experience happened at the exact time when Coca Cola was switching from cane sugar to HFCS.
So that was kind of an ultimate blind taste test. We had no idea that they were replacing the cane sugar, or what was going on. But we definitely knew the difference, it was plain as day. And it was definitely not just the mouthfeel.
I had a Dr. Pepper from the original plant in Texas! It was a big deal as the new Dr. Pepper co was suing the old one for the rights. The new company won and I got the last cans from the OG plant! (They used cane sugar)
I remember this drink from the film “Blast From the Past”! It was a favorite of Christopher Walken’s character. (And-*IIRC*-his colleagues thought him _weird_ for it!…)
Someone better send this to the Dr Pepper aficionado that is John Green. 😂
At 5:47 and 6:15 you almost decoded the secret of Dr. Pepper. You need to go with spiced rum and keep the ratio low enough it stays very sweet. It's an oddly perfect match, gives you the sweetness you want along with the extra flavor notes you were searching for.
The trick is to either slowly cook down the Dr Pepper to half volume or get raw syrup, cool, and cut it 50/50 with over proof rum, to create a new liquor.
As a Dr. Pepper lover, I am now in a state of double pain.
Pain because I just had 8 teeth pulled.
Pain because I can't try ANY of these for several days.
ouch
Im right there with you buddy. Wisdom teeth: gone. every food I want: observed, angrily.
Starting to see why you had 8 teeth pulled.
8? please tell me it's an overcrowding thing and not a "my teeth are rotting off my face" thing
I also just lost 4 wisdom teeth. Watching this while eating mashed potatoes. One of the few foods I'm allowed to eat
I have been asking for a HTD and Tasting History collab for ages!!!! Is this the closest thing we'll get?
4:00 I don't believe the difference is entirely in people's minds, but I don't believe it's actually the sweetener either
Plastic and aluminum tend to leech flavors, especially from acidic drinks like soda, whereas glass does not. This is, in my opinion, the actual cause of the taste difference combined with the fact that different countries often use different ratios of water, carbonation, and Coca-Cola syrup in their formulations for different markets even if the ingredients themselves remain exactly the same.
I think this is something worth testing. Not just the type of sweetener used, but the type of container used. If cane sugar Coca-Cola and corn syrup Coca-Cola taste exactly the same if they're both in cans for plastic, as opposed to any sweetener in a glass bottle, I think that's probably primarily the cause of the difference.
Well aluminum cans get a layer to prevent reaction with the drink, but that layer in itself can leak flavor into the drink so essentially the same.
I don't know about a taste difference, but I definitely notice a texture difference between corn syrup and cane sugar sodas. Syrup gives a much thicker, more sticky texture that kind of feels like it catches in my throat, something I don't get anywhere near as much in cane sugar soda.
Dr. Pepper Zero with Kraken Rum over ice is my go to. Sipping on it now. Maybe it’s the heating up part throwing me off but it’s delicious.
Love the editing in this episode. Mushroom people had me cackling.
Dr.Pepper with cream soda is DRASTICALLY different from standard Dr.Pepper..
I don't know if I can trust you anymore Greg 😭
Right
It looks like he drinking them at room temperature, so maybe that was it? (Also I thought his interpretation of the strawberries and cream one was just wrong, that soda tastes like a mouthful of strawberry shortcake ice cream and DP simultaneously)
@@nathanialsenda5370 Right? Well, to me the strawberries and cream tastes like strawberry shortcake, with the DP flavor standing in for the cake part of the equation. I'm definitely a fan. It's more of a summer beverage, tho...
@TrulyZer0, IMHO Dr. Pepper & Cream tastes like when you make a vanilla ice cream float with regular Dr. Pepper.
(I have NOT tried Dr. Pepper & Cream Zero b/c it's only in cans and my local grocery store keeps running out of it -- has anyone tried it? How does the artificial sweetener change it, if it does at all?)
Wow, I thought his tasting was off for those because I've personally found both of those to be absolutely cloying and artificial tasting... not delicious at all.
I used to watch a TON of your videos before the pandemic. For some reason, your newer stuff never made it to my front page. I'm glad to see you again, man. Your dad jokes make me laugh, & I always have a good time watching what ya make.
There's a marked difference in the sweetness of real sugar compared to HFCS. The corn syrup is engineered to be sweeter - both so they can use less of it and to really hook you in! So sodas with real sugar are less sweet-tasting. They also seem flatter, but that's most likely either imagined or just due to the difference in chemistry 😊
Heyo Greg, I was very inspired by your channel and over the past few years I’ve been able to step further into mixology and I really appreciate your passion.
Tonight I decided to explore and make a cocktail that I didn’t have a recipe for and I was very happy with the outcome. If you do another “fan submitted cocktail” episode it’d be awesome for you to try it. Very drunkenly written recipe below
Drambuie Smash
1 oz simple
1.5 oz Drambuie
.5oz lime
.5 oz whiskey (4 roses but any should be good)
.5 oz rum 5 year plantation rum
5-8 mint leaves
So glad I made it to the end of this one. The plainly evident exasperation was amazing to watch unfold.
Happy holidays, Greg!
My dad actually used to make this when I'd go to his house in the winter. I remember having to wear my gloves just to be able to hold the cup. I'd actually forgotten about that until I saw this video, so thank you.
Edit: After actually watching a few seconds into the video, I realize we did things a bit differently. Heating the drink until it lost carbonation, and no lemon. But still nostalgic to hear about!
I actually like the Strawberries and Cream Dr. Pepper, like to me it tastes like a Dr. Pepper Float but with Strawberry ice cream. It has very "playing around at a drink kiosk at a fast-food place" kind of vibes, and I love that. Strawberries and Cream is an underrated flavor concept, I know we have strawberry flavored stuff, the only mainstream strawberry soda I can think of on the market in the USA is Fanta; there's also like local brands but I don't want to dox myself, I also think Ramune has a strawberry version but don't quote me on that, Wendy's I know has a few specifically branded sodas at their kiosks I'm pretty sure one of them is strawberry (update: I learned it's cherry cream, for a vague memory I was pretty close). The only other strawberries and cream flavor thing I've seen in recent memory are Tic-Tacs.
The "healthy" soda Olipop has a Strawberries and Cream flavor that's pretty good, I've had that a few times.
I teared up laughing at your first note and reaction to Dark & Stormy Zero Sugar. The mic picked up the back of throat sounds and distaste perfectly.
EDIT: I *died* harder at the Dark & Strawberry Shortcake, that came out of left field oh my god.
Yup my mom used to make this in the winter time especially if I had a sore throat or the sniffles. Had forgotten about this until recently this is the second vid I watched on the subject and when I go to the store I am going to get the stuff to make some, cheers. Merry Christmas
I also just noticed how much your channel has taken off. I have been subscribed for well over 3 years now and I am glad to see you doing very well!
Please do the blind taste test for soda.
Since I’m old I can attest to the fact that hot Dr was and in my house is still a treat…especially when you add a healthy glug of rum😉
Always love the drink descriptions. "War on christmas" had me chuckling!
Hot Dr Pepper with a jigger of bourbon or dark rum has been on my menu for decades. I sometimes substitute a slice of orange for he lemon and may even stir wth a cinnamon stick.
Greg getting well and truly DP'd on this episode.
HAHAHAHA
my buddy use to get completely wrecked on flaming dr pepper over in korea. One time he woke up in a ditch and had no clue how he got there.
I love that my favorite baking and drinking shows are doing this episode lol
I think you should put in your description which videos you film on one day... clearly at the start of this you had done some other videos... AWESOME ! !
This one was super fun and funny!
Usually, I have Dr Pepper with spiced rum. I'm not that into dark rum, but whatever does(not) work for you. Love the faces😅😅😅😂😂😂😂 thank you for your pain
Not the fizzy version, the cordial one (think liquid Kool Aid) of the British drink Vimto is often served hot. Best cold relief that has no booze.
They even make a "Winter Warmer" version for the season which has cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves in it. Delicious stuff.
@@MrZantkiller reminded me of being a kid a church when we made mulled Ribena. Ah Methodists.
I am validated! I've met a lot of people who don't like the flavor of diet sodas, but I think you're the first who's caught the metallic note of aspartame (for whatever parasocial definition exists of having "met" someone by watching their RUclips video).
I tried the peppermint Smirnoff and Dr. Pepper Cream Soda over ice and it’s actually pretty tasty. Thanks Greg and happy holidays!
Today on "How to Drink" Greg descends into a Dr. Pepper chaos.
You should really make an episode just chucking angostura bitters into every drink you think it wouldn't work in, just to see what would happen. Ango margarita? Gin and tonic?
Ango gin and tonic sounds nice
"But not one of the tasty metals" was hysterical. I like a good hot doc from time to time. Might try the creamy hot doc with rum
Adding Ango is absolutely the right call. I've been making Hot Dr. Pepper for my cold this week and I've always added a few dashes
Thank you so much for this, Dr. Pepper centric episode. I have been asking for this for a while and had given up. Thanks again.
Waiting for the next vid! 👍
Happy Christmas Jingles! Watching you play Cyber Punk makes me want to find time to play it.
As a southerner in Texas this is a gem. Twist of lemon is nice but add a twist of grapefruit to make the prune flavor pop. Dr pepper is a prune soda
Hot Dr pepper and a dash of lemon juice, my families home remedy for minor cold symptoms.
I literally just saw the commercial yesterday for hot dr pepper on fb reels and was showing my dad who remembered seeing it on TV.
When I learned to ski in the mid-80s at the Mammoth Mountain Resort in California, I was introduced to "Skier's Delight", which was a 50/50 mix of Dr Pepper and Jack Daniels, combined and heated in one of those 100-cup electric coffee urns, preferably one that had been in use for years and would add coffee notes to the drink. Between the sweet fruit notes and the whiskey, it was great coming off the slopes to warm up and relax a bit. Anybody else know Skier's Delight?
I’ve had room temperature Dr. Pepper before. Maybe I could turn that into a thing.
Most Dr. Pepper enjoyers I know prefers it at room temperature
I’ve had Dr Pepper left in a car in summer. Wonder if this was similar
I know you don't care for Kraken rum, but I think you'll at least appreciate that the drink that mixes it with Dr. Pepper is called a Doc Oc. 😂
I remember my dad talking about this stuff a few years back. Might have to try it now
Next holiday, you should do the Ikea Christmas beverages. The Vintersaga beverages have a hop and malt soda that used to be called Julmust, and a non-alcoholic glögg. I also love using their elderflower syrup in place of the much more expensive St. Germain in drinks.
Greg, I see you've made six episodes already today!!
I'm shocked you didn't do the Dr.Pepper Real Sugar which would of given you the exact taste of the 1960's Dr. Pepper. Was it good then or is it better now.... We might need more Dr.Pepper episodes on How to drink.
Diet Dr. Pepper in those days had saccharin for sweetener in it, like everything else, but none of the other sweeteners, like aspartame. Very different aftertaste.
Greg. Have you tried Glögg? Scandinavian mulled...something. You can use any of a number of different spices and additives, but the base, at least according to our family, is a bottle of port and a bottle of brandy. Mull it with orange slices, raisins, almonds, cloves, allspice, cinnamon, and star anise. Drink it hot and enjoy the added effect of the fumes searing all of your nose hairs off.
Happy holidays from Sweden!
I don’t know how different the recipes are but in the UK I prefer the zero sugar version over the diet versions. I can’t stomach soda with sugar. In other news, I never found any booze that mixed well with Dr Pepper.
I grew up in Waco, TX and my family still drinks hot Dr Pepper with a lemon. My nana always made it for me when I was sick, she really believed it was some kind of medication lol. It’s so good! People make their love of Dr Pepper part of their identity in Waco.
The Dr. Stormy reminded me of a drink I made a few nights ago that I tentatively called a stormy port. 1 part dark rum, 2 parts ruby port, bar spoon simple syrup, dashes of orange bitters, stir on ice.
So, my roommate and I used diet sodas every so often to make pulled pork in a crockpot... but that didn't last long, cause every diet soda we put in and heated eventually ended up tasting like ether.
Greg often mentions how excessive sugar makes him feel terrible...after all the drinks in this episode, him cutting off the outro and replacing it with an abrupt old-timey jingle makes me wonder if he just went straight to the hospital to get his stomach pumped
Ypu always sing the virties of Chartreuse and how amazing it is. Due to the ongoing Chartreuse shortage, I think I would be awesome to a tasting/ cocktail comparison for potential alternatives. Some examples: Dolin Génépy le Chamois Liqueur, Faccia Brutto Centerbe, or Bordiga Centum Herbis to name a few.
Given the winter, I would love an episode about drinks that use maple syrup. I’ve seen a maple toddy and several maple variations of classic cocktails, but any that use it as the base recipe?
My guy, I love you, but there’s only so many times I’m going to be entertained by you imbibing bad drinks. I come to you for GOOD drinks.
I said this on the Tasting History video too but I’m happy to say it again- I have known this was a thing my whole life because I have been to the Dr Pepper Museum in Waco more than I’ve been to church. I would HIGHLY recommend going if you’re ever in the area, it’s a pretty fun place that has evolved a lot over the past 20 or so years and is truly something cool now.
My grandma told me about this when I was a kid. I used to microwave it in a mug with some lemon juice.
As a related tangent, Bud Light with a few oz of amaretto is a surprisingly good match for what Dr. Pepper is.
You NEED to make an episode where its something along the lines of Limit Testing Angostura Bitters that would be so fun to watch, and prolly do aswell.
My current favorite drink is Dr Pepper and Crown Royal Apple. The apple goes so well with the flavors in Dr Pepper it just pairs perfectly.
You're more and more like a mad scientist every day Greg, and I am So So Here for It
old docs soda shop is still around in dublin texas ... grate grand ma lived in proctor and we'd always stop buy
My aunt used to make hot Dr Pepper with lemon. I loved it.
11:02 'what does Dr. Pepper and Cream Soda taste like?' pretty damn good and I honestly envy you for still being able to get ahold of the stuff
Growing up in Detroit we enjoyed hot Vernors Ginger ale in the winter or if you had a tummy ache!
This was my dads favorite drink before he passed. It’s neat seeing this as hit reminds me of him
I had Mexican, real sugar, coke for the first time recently and yeah I gotta agree it's not that much different.
But I don't drink that much soda usually, ymmv.
Looking forward to that test.
I really wish you could've tried out heating up Dark Berry Doctor Pepper, that stuff was INSANELY GOOD.
My Dad used to make this every winter growing up, but he added some star anise as it heated up and then the lemon slice.
Very good British accent 😂.
Much love from across the pond 🇬🇧.
Keep up the hard work !
Just did hot Dr Pepper with Goslings and some Amarena cherries and he’s very right about it not being as sweet as you expect as well as it not having a lot of body
I don’t have it on hand but I wonder if adding something in the almond family like amaretto or falernum if you’re going with cherries OR a bit of orange liqueur + cinnamon schnapps if you’re leaning towards Christmas spices
I love hot Dr. Pepper--when I was little, the grocery store down the road from our house used to offer hot Dr. Pepper on freezing days in the winter. It's one of the few happy memories I have from childhood.
I loved the strawberries and cream and your reaction was just beautiful lol
I've done a blind test with corn syrup vs cane sugar/mexican coke and I can tell a difference. It's very slight in ny opinion but I definitely prefer the cane sugar version. Mostly feel/viscosity? I used a glass for both and tried with and without ice.
The weird taste/feel from the diet (etc) might just be the artificial sweetener. I've had that experience from them in drinks, not as common for me to notice that sensation in food, just the flavor
I'm convinced Greg just constantly spills stuff on purpose because it looks good in the slowmo
Thanks for doing this one. I drink a ton of Dr. Pepper, but still haven't done the hot versions yet. I also have not found a ton of mixed drinks with Dr. Pepper that I've liked, so this video is definitely up my alley. Which is why I'm not shocked at all the bad ones you suffered through here. Thanks for biting those bullets and fighting the good fight. BTW, to get the cane sugar version, which is usually bottled in glass, out NJ way, it's really hit-or-miss due to poor distribution. You can sometimes get it at a Rocket Fizz, a Mission BBQ, or a Cracker Barrel, but usually singles at a hefty price. P.S. Once upon a time there was Dr. Slice in small regional tests.
Dr. Pepper Cream Soda is excellent with cigars.
When you do the blind soda taste test, the corn syrup and cane sugar are gonna BLOW YOUR MIND 🎉
Happy New Year!
I've found that alcohol cancels out artificial sweeteners. Toss in a little simple to bring it back to life. It's no longer sugar free, but you're getting less sugar.
I have been trying to figure this one out but how do make a schwegmann’s cocktail from the schwegmann grocery store in Louisiana
Regarding cane sugar vs corn syrup, it's largely a temperature thing. Different sugars express more sweetness depending on how cold they are so "real" sugar coke tastes different than modern coke. I think the best example of this is that classic coke was formulated before refrigeration was common whole pepsi is post-fridge which is a huge contributor to why they taste different
