A Flaming Doctor Pepper is a flaming cocktail with taste similar to the soft drink Dr Pepper, despite Dr Pepper not being one of its ingredients. Dave Brinks of the Gold Mine Saloon lays claim to inventing the drink.{{cite web|title=New Orleans Signature Drink Bars|url=http://www.bestofneworleans.com/gambit/new-orleans-signature-drink-bars/Content?oid=2032804|accessdate=April 22, 2016|date=July 3, 2012}}{{cite web | url=https://ca.style.yahoo.com/exactly-flaming-dr-pepper-shot-151512597.html | title=What Exactly Is A Flaming Dr Pepper Shot? | publisher=The Daily Meal | date=December 24, 2023 | accessdate=7 May 2024 | author=DiValentino, Ariana}}

The shot is then set on fire and dropped into a glass half-filled with beer. The flames are extinguished by the beer, and the cocktail should then be drunk quickly.
