Sherbet flavors list

4 Comments

Some of the most popular and most common sherbet flavors are not found in as many ice cream brands as they are found in sherbet mixes. The most common of the flavors of the frozen desert treat are lime and orange. However don’t be surprised to find flavors ranging from strawberry, raspberry, to lemon and even tropical flavors such as pineapple.

Is sherbet ice cream?
Well, the dictionary defines sherbet as:

“A frozen dessert made primarily of fruit juice, sugar, and water, and also containing milk, egg white, or gelatin”

So technically it is a relative of ice cream and not really a “true” ice cream in the traditional sense of the dairy desert.

Dr. Pepper claims that there are 23 flavors in the cola brand! But what are these flavors?

Dr. Pepper will not reveal any of the “secret” flavors and ingredients that are mixed to create the blend of 23 flavors. However, in the FAQ of the official Dr. Pepper drink site they specifically note that prune juice is not one of the secret ingredients!

So there you have it! That is one ingredient less to have to choose from, maybe if you email Dr. Pepper with another question about the ingredients eventually we will discover all of the flavors! Just go down a list… for example…”does Dr. Pepper contain cheery?”
