Dr Pepper Will Drop a Brand-New Flavor in February 2025

I’m something of an expert when it comes to soda (or pop as we call it in Chicago). From fruity sodas like Shirley Temple 7Up to savory sodas like turkey dinner, I’ve sampled them all. Dr Pepper & Cream Soda had my heart last year, but now there’s a new doctor in town. Dr Pepper Blackberry is on the horizon, and I am ready.

Even though I loved Sprite Vanilla Frost and the elusive Gingerbread Pepsi, there’s nothing I adore more than a good ol’ Dr Pepper!

What is Dr Pepper Blackberry?

It’s the somewhat spicy Dr Pepper you know and love with undertones of sweet blackberry. For me, blackberry is such a nostalgic flavor. My parents didn’t do a lot of gardening and such growing up, but we did have a massive blackberry patch. Every summer, my mom and I would pick all the blackberries we could and make pies, jam and everything else possible—then eat the rest by the handful.

Blackberries have been my absolute favorite berry ever since, and I’m floored by this new flavor.

If you’re a lover of Dr Pepper, you know it’s a mishmash of 23 different flavors coming together to create a soda only the heavens could produce. Fruit flavors fit exceptionally well into that formula, and I think blackberry will be a wondrous addition. It’ll probably be my new go-to flavor for dirty sodas!

When will the flavor drop?

It’s set to drop in February 2025 as a permanent addition to the Dr Pepper lineup. Dr Pepper Blackberry will be available in 12-ounce cans and 20-ounce bottles, plus there will be a zero sugar option as well. The drop will be nationwide at participating locations, so check your stores for the new arrival before Valentine’s Day. I’ll be stocking up right after I grab the upcoming Pepsi Wild Cherry & Cream. What a soda-filled start to the new year!
