guys -

for the past year i've been using a mop for my ribs that works very well and i am 100% satisfied with it. it's an easy one consisting of 1/3 cup olive oil, 1 cup Dr. Pepper and 2/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce.

i'm doing my first pork shoulder today and am thinking of switching the dr. pepper with 7-up - i'm thinking tht the citrus flavor might give a boost and propel it toward something from florida or maybe the caribbean, but on the other side of the coin is the fact that the dr. pepper, when mixed with the soy sauce, adds a lot of depth to the flavors found in pork, it seems. any opinions, pro or con?
 
I can't help you much here. The only one I've used is a mixture of apple juice and rum mixed 50/50. Turns out good for me.
 
i went ahead with the dr. pepper as i know that turns out good, but i did add about a half-cup of wild cherry brandy, just for kicks. we'll see what happens!
