Hot Dr. Pepper
"Here's yet another trip down Nostalgia Lane by the old bone man. (There are more, including county fair specialties on my recipe list). They used to advertise this on American Bandstand (hosted by Dick Clark) in the 50s and this drink's popularity finally died out somewhere around the mid-60s. But you can STILL do it if you have a notion! *.*"

I learned about Hot Dr. Pepper from a friend who served it when we worked in her unheated darkroom developing photographs....I still love it! I use Diet Doctor Pepper now, and I add orange and lemon slices, and squeeze them into the Doctor Pepper. Completely different hot than cold, and the added fruit just makes it wonderful! I'm so glad somebody thought to post this. I had it again on New Year's Eve this year--better than the wine we bought! -
This really brought back memories. Well, it is not a memory any longer, it will be a well favored beverage for our 16 year old and friends and not just Mom and Dad any more. Thanks for posting! -
Ah what memories!! Many years ago when I was but one poor kid, among 6, mom bought Dr. Pepper, but two bottles were split among the 6 of us to make it go further. And what a treat it was when we could have it hot with lemon slices! So good in that old farm house when the wind whistled in through the cracks! Try it... You'll love it! -
Don't knock this! Dr. Pepper hot tastes completely different than cold...it is like a completely different drink. -
I just love hot dr. pepper. I can remember as a child my mom fixing me a hot cup of Dr. Pepper. Nice to have ran across this again.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I am a retired State Park Resort Manager/Ranger. <br /><br />Anyway, as to my years in the State Park System (retired now), I was responsible for 4 restaurants/dining rooms on my park and my boss at Central Headquarters said I should spend less time in my kitchens and more time tending to my park budget. I spent 25 years in those kitchens and worked with some really great chefs over those years, (and some really awful ones too!) <br /><br />I spent THOUSANDS of hours on every inch of that park and adjacent state forest (60,000 acres) and sometimes I miss it. But mostly I miss being in that big beautiful resort lodge kitchen. I miss my little marina restaurant down on the Ohio River too. I served the best Reuben Sandwich (my own recipe -- posted on 'Zaar as The Shawnee Marina Reuben Sandwich) in both the State of Ohio and the Commonwealth of Kentucky down there and sold it for $2.95. Best deal on the river! <br /><br />They (friends and neighbors) call my kitchen The Ospidillo Cafe. Don't ask me why because it takes about a case of beer, time-wise, to explain the name. Anyway, it's a small galley kitchen with a Mexican motif (until my wife catches me gone for a week or so), and it's a very BUSY kitchen as well. We cook at all hours of the day and night. You are as likely to see one of my neighbors munching down over here as you are my wife or daughter. I do a lot of recipe experimentation and development. It has become a really fun post-retirement hobby -- and, yes, I wash my own dishes. <br /><br />Also, I'm the Cincinnati Chili Emperor around here, or so they say. (Check out my Ospidillo Cafe Cincinnati Chili recipe). SKYLINE CHILI is one of my four favorite chilis, and the others include: Gold Star Chili, Empress Chili and, my VERY favorite, Dixie. All in and around Cincinnati. Great stuff for cheap and I make it at home too. <br /><br />I also collect menus and keep them in my kitchen -- I have about a hundred or so. People go through them and when they see something that they want, I make it the next day. That presents some real challenges! <br /><br />http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/parks/parks/shawnee.htm</p>
