By Queuebot in Food & Drink on Feb 14, 2009 at 2:49 am

Dr. Pepper lovers rejoice, here’s a way to "winterize" your favorite soda by turning it into a delicious hot beverage.

Instructions are from a vintage recipe advertisement published in the 60′s.

Easy to prepare–simply heat Dr Pepper in a saucepan until it steams and pour into a glass or cup over a slice of lemon. Perfect for the family or when friends drop in–and take along a thermos of Hot Dr Pepper when enjoying outdoor activities. Hot Dr Pepper–the distinctive Winter Warmer!

i actually read somewhere that hot dr. pepper can help with sore throats and coughs — no idea if it’s true.

In the movie “Blast from the Past,” Christopher Walken’s character is a huge fan of hot Dr Pepper.

They have been doing this for decades at football games back at my high school in Mississippi. It’s a very popular drink and wonderful in cold-weather.

If you are really into Dr. Pepper you should check out their museum: http://www.drpeppermuseum.com/

I was in the press box during the 1964 Rose Bowl Game. Dr. Pepper had set up a table of coffee urns filled with hot Dr. Pepper for everyone to try. I was one of the few brave enough. It was great! I have prepared it this way off and on during cold weather ever since. Try it, you’ll like it.

My mom tells me that her sisters drank hot Dr. Pepper all the time back in the day. I’ve always been a little curious to try it. I would imagine heating might bring out that spicy taste to it.

Hot Dr. Pepper was a favorite of mine when I was a kid… and in the 80s, no less

My dad was old school

This was big when I was at college in the late 80′s (probably because I went to a Mormon school where regular tea was frowned upon). It needs lots of lemon, and really isn’t all that good.

There’s a small coffee shop in my town that always has Hot Dr. Pepper in the winter. I have yet to try it but I’m curious.

When I was little we used to have hot Dr. Pepper after sledding. (in the 80s) The adults would add rum to theirs. Now every winter I have to have just one hot Dr. Pepper and rum for old times sake:)

I have a copy of Life magazine from the week that JFK was shot (the funeral is the cover story), and one of the ads is all about drinking Dr. Pepper hot.

When drinking the hot DP over the Christmas holiday, be sure to dunk you candy cane into it. Adds a nice mint taste to the beverage.

As a child, whenever we travelled and I got car sick (which was actually just about every time we travelled), my dad would pull over to a gas station and buy me a warm (not refrigerated) Dr P. Which, of course, made me sick and I would throw up.
After a while I’d:
A. Stop telling Dad I was sick.
B. Get sick at the very mention of Dr Pepper. Even today, 40 years later.
Sorry, gotta go…

I remember my dad introducing me to hot Dr. Pepper. I get some strange looks from my coworkers till I fix them up a mug to try!

Someone in my neighborhood has an outdoor thermometer from Dr. Pepper that cleverly advertises the beverage in both cold and hot formats. It was probably made sometime in the 1990′s, so I wonder when people forgot about hot Dr. Pepper?

My late grandmother introduced me to this years and years ago. It’s surprisingly good.

Loved this stuff…mom used to make every time it got cold…

you know what else is good? Get one of those soft peppermint sticks, that are about 5 inches long and about 1/2 inch wide. Then cut a lemon in half and poke the peppermint stick in the flesh. You suck on the peppermint until it turns into a straw and the lemon juice comes through..It’s really good.

Hot Dr. Pepper and lemon is awesome for treating coughs and sore throats. It had me coughing up crud in two cups where two weeks of Mucinex didn’t.

Drinking it now after my ex (addicted to Dr. Pepper) told me it helped his flu and lung infection. It’s helping my cold and cough as I type. Holy crap. AND IT’S GOOD!!! I used DP and honey though, as I’m all out of lemon…
