Here's a post from Lee Fraser, a.k.a. QSis on the BBQ Forum, for a BBQ sauce using Dr. Pepper, my favorite soft drink! Enjoy.

Still messing around, trying to get a good chicken entry.
This weekend, I tried a Dr. Pepper BBQ sauce, which was very sweet and mild, pinkish and thin, a lot like French dressing. Good for kids and non-chili heads, especially for a table sauce. I've copied it below.

DPQ SAUCE
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
<LI>2-1/2 cups Dr Pepper
<LI>1/2 cup oil
<LI>1/2 cup lemon juice
<LI>1 cup catsup
<LI>1 teaspoon garlic powder
<LI>1/4 cup dry minced onion
<LI>2 teaspoons salt
<LI>1 teaspoon pepper
<LI>1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper or red pepper sauce
<LI>1 teaspoon basil
[/list]
Blend together on stir speed of blender for 2 minutes (Lee's note: start blender on LOW, first! I'm still wiping spots off the ceiling!) Store in tightly sealed container and refrigerate. Shake well before using. Will keep for several weeks in refrigerator.
Yield: 4-1/2 cups
