Recipe sounds good and I will have to try it.  I have made a version from unknown sources, maybe Dee,  called Hubba Bubba, and it is good too, and kids like it.

Hubba Bubba

1    cup ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup Dr. Pepper
1/4 cup honey
2 tbl. worcestershire
1/2 tbl. soy sauce
1/2 tbl. garlic powder
1/2 tbl. onion powder
1/4 tbl. cayenne pepper or to taste
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. liquid smoke

Combine and simmer until mixture is smooth for 5 to 10 minutes

Dr Pepper sauce sounds very good Smoke! Thanks!
I wish that I could get my hands on some of the Dr Pepper that was around when we were kids.Their recipe changed to a much much sweeter soda.

10.5 on the Bradley forum has a recipe for "bulldog" bbq sauce that also uses Dr pepper. It is the bomb! I have to always make two double batches when I make it, one with no cayenne for Mrs TF and one with double cayenne for me and anyone else who likes some kick.

Sadly the Dublin,Texas plant closed in 2014. They were bottling the original recipe.

I know this is an old recipe, but for those that are new - bumping this awesome recipe up.  I was looking something for the cookout at work today and this hit the spot.  My wife was PISSED that I was going to take the whole batch to work.  Lucky for me, I made 2 up at one time.

One note, I actually thought it could use some more heat but did not mess with it this time.  Next time though, I think I will double the amount called for....

I'm guessing you could probably use the same recipe say if you wanted to do a root beer sauce or coke? Just swap out the soda for a different flavor profile?

If it's like Hubba Bubba sauce then I'm in.  Made some for a church cookout out a few years back and they went nuts over it.

Thought they were gonna put it in a cup with ice and drink it  ;)

Hubba Bubba sauce?  Never heard of that one....

As for coke or root beer, I think it would work.  Dr Pepper gives it some good flavor that is unique.  I saved some money though, went to Sheetz and bought the large $1 drink.  No one in my family drinks it, except for me occasionally...
