Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper

A bold splash of cherry, a soft note of vanilla, and the classic Dr Pepper taste underneath it all, with zero calories. This is the one I reach for when I want the cherry-vanilla treat without the sugar.

Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper is still listed on drpepper.com as of October 7, 2026, but it is sold only in limited areas. It has 0 calories and 0 g of sugar, is sweetened with aspartame, and does contain caffeine. Keurig Dr Pepper publishes no official nutrition or caffeine figure for it, so below I separate what is confirmed from what is not.

Diet Cherry Vanilla layers cherry and a light vanilla note over the Dr Pepper flavor with no calories. It is the sugar-free partner of the full-sugar Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper, and it shares its aspartame-only sweetening with Diet Dr Pepper. Wikipedia calls it the only flavor variant of Diet Dr Pepper, and on the drpepper.com lineup every other fruit flavor's sugar-free can is branded Zero Sugar.

Questions people ask about Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper

Was Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper discontinued?

Not as far as Dr Pepper's own site shows. As of October 7, 2026, drpepper.com still lists Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper in its US lineup, but it is sold only in limited areas, so it can look discontinued if your stores do not carry it.

Does Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper have caffeine?

Yes. It is a diet soda, not a caffeine-free one, and caffeine is on the label. Keurig Dr Pepper publishes no current amount. Dr Pepper's 2006 data said 37 mg per 12 fl oz, and a 2007 Auburn University study measured 40.1 mg.

How many calories are in Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper?

Zero. Dr Pepper's product description promises no calories, and the printed label shows 0 calories, 0 g of carbohydrate and 0 g of sugar per 12 fl oz can, with 65 mg of sodium.

What sweetener is in Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper?

Aspartame, and only aspartame on the label copy I could find, with no acesulfame potassium. The FDA says people with phenylketonuria (PKU) should avoid or restrict aspartame.

Is there a Dr Pepper Cherry Vanilla Zero Sugar?

No. drpepper.com lists no Zero Sugar Cherry Vanilla. Diet Cherry Vanilla is the only sugar-free cherry vanilla can. For a widely sold zero sugar cherry can, there is Dr Pepper Cherry Zero Sugar, without the vanilla.

Where can I find Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper?

In the regions that carry it, grocers such as Hy-Vee list 12 packs of cans. Elsewhere, ordering online is the realistic option.

If what you remember is plain Diet Cherry Dr Pepper, without the vanilla, that can is gone, and Diet Cherry Dr Pepper's replacement, Dr Pepper Cherry Zero Sugar, is the widely sold sugar-free cherry can today. Flavors that really are gone are in discontinued Dr Pepper flavors, and caffeine for every other variety is in how much caffeine is in Dr Pepper. If a daily can is turning into a habit, here are the signs to watch for.
