At the local Target store, they now have "Flavor Boosters" that
dispense vanilla or cherry flavor (as you like) into the beverages.
So, I tried them (one at a time) with the Dr Pepper. They seemed
more like "flavor maskers" than boosters, IMHO. For what it's worth,
I think the vanilla may go somewhat better with Dr Pepper. If
anything, I think the Dr Pepper boosted the flavor of the vanilla
rather than vice-versa.
I'll bet that if a small amount of Dr Pepper were added to a
recipe calling for vanilla (such as a cake frosting, for instance),
it might "pep up" the flavor. Has anyone tried this sort of thing?
