Ever since I was a little kid, Dr.P has been the drink for me. Oh gosh Im rhyming awful, just awful. Anyway.... Dr. Pepper A few years ago, I was in NYC and a good friend had a Dr. P and some Jack Daniel's and as I looked at these two glorious liquid nectars of the western world it hit me... and "The Dr. Feel-Good" was born. Jack Daniel's I love the red fruity flavors in the soda and the maple sweetness if the whiskey, it just seemed natural to put them together. They are a perfect match. This concoction got my mind thinking. I have always liked the adventure of pairing unlikely ingredients together, but the idea of using those "unique" ingredients was very compelling. I started playing around in my kitchen and came up with some cool recipes... Bacon Fried Bananas, Beer Battered Pineapple with Cilantro Whipped Cream, Dr. Pepper Pork Chops, Lynchburg Lime-Thyme Lime and Thyme lemonade.... The list goes on. Its a super fun way to look at your ingredients and think a little bigger. Give it a try and see what you come up with.
