Muddy Diet Dr Pepper
It would be awesome beyond belief if you could pin this Muddy Diet Dr Pepper to your pinterest boards! 
Public Declaration time: I’ve become an addict. Alright, I Can live without it but I don’t want to!
It all started when I made friends with these two sweet ladies who share my love of fun non-alcoholic drinks. We ended up in the middle of a cherry orchard in Michigan at a lovely dinner where they were serving all manner of rotted grape juices and as I came up with a concoction of lemonade and cherry juice for us we got to talking about other lovely mixed drinks and Sara and Kate asked me “Have you tried the dirty diet coke?”
My interest was piqued. Dirty Diet Coke? I knew they didn’t drink either so it had to be something good. As soon as I got home I looked it up on their site and set out to make my own version- using Diet Dr Pepper! (Y’all saw that coming, right?)
But then I got to the part where Sara added in half and half and I thought “This just sounds odd. I don’t know if that would be good.”
Two seconds later I vowed to trust anything Sara or Kate say for the rest of my life.
While they splash their half and half in, I’ve found that I like everything better if I give it a little stir and muddy the whole thing up.
Muddy Diet Dr Pepper was born!
This is the next best thing to having fairies clean your house while you sleep!
It’s like a trip to the beach for under a dollar!
It’s like a personal, warm hug directly from Heaven to Diet Dr Pepper lovers everywhere!
Let’s make us one!
You’ll need: Coconut Syrup (I’m using sugar free), Diet Dr Pepper, and Half and Half.
The Half and half makes this, in my opinion. It sounded really weird to me at first (okay so this whole thing sounded weird to me at first) but Sara was right, half and half takes it up a notch.
I found the coconut syrup on Amazon (click here) but I’m sure it is for sale somewhere in some store.
If you know where this is please tell me in the comments below because I’d kinda like to know.
Fill your glass with ice.
Add about 3 tablespoons of coconut syrup.
Add about half of your Diet Dr Pepper.
Stir just slightly.
Fill the glass up almost to the top with Diet Dr Pepper, save about 1 inch of head space.
Add a splash of half and half.
Stir lightly to muddy it all up.
ENJOY!
And I do mean ENJOY!
This tastes unlike anything I’ve ever known and I dearly love it!
It’s like a trip to the beach for under a dollar!

A friend told me they have it at bartenders supplies stores. I wouldn’t know, haven’t been in one but she gets it through a local liquor distributor who is a friend. Fortunately, I don’t go there but I know someone who does! Might have to try this… wonder how it would taste with root beer?! We do have an international market so will check there.
I think it would be heavenly in root beer! I wonder if liquor stores have it?
Christy,
Smart and Final is one of those kind of stores where you’re buying things in larger quantities — big cans, large bags, etc. People use it who are feeding large numbers of people, altho they also sell small portions and I shop there on a regular basis just for the family.. The one near us carries food, paper products, restaurant-style cooking supplies and liquor. It’s the size of a regular grocery store, not big like Costco. I live in CA. I don’t know if it’s local to CA or if they are in other states, as well.
You can find the flavored syrups at some Costco’s, too. We have one up here in the Seattle area that has a large restaurant supplies section and it has all kinds of syrup flavors. Sam’s Club might carry them, too. Starbuck’s will sell them, but coconut is a seasonal flavor and they don’t have it right now, I think.
You can sometimes find Torani (or other brands) of flavored coffee syrups at T.J. Max, Marshall’s, and Ross stores. I’d like to try the sugar free Amaretto syrup with Diet Dr. Pepper!
You can also find those syrups at the World Market stores. I’ve even seen a tiny selection of them at our Walmart.
We don’t have World Market, either! lol We have Kroger, Publix, and Earth Fare. That is about it as far as grocery stores go. Then Wal Mart. There is a really nice Trader Joes about two hours away… 🙂
There is a world market on hwy 280 in Birmingham in the shopping center where the Target is. Publix can probably order if for you.
There is a World Market in The Avenue in Murfreesboro, TN, and a Charming Charlie there, too… and a great bakery just down the street. As far as this mixture, I’m straight in the pea pod with you on the front end… in other words, this recipe sounds crazy. The trust factor will go up a gazillion fold once I try this. LOLOL
Soubds good 🙂 torani syrups can be found at World Market!! Sometimes Publux but not usually the more exotic flavors like coconut.
I get my sugar free syrups at Smart ‘n Final here in Phoenix. I don’t drink carbonated stuff anymore but I love the syrups in my coffee.
Thank you for all the wonderful recipes!
Patricia
Thank YOU Patricia! I haven’t ever heard of Smart N Final, is it like a regular grocery store?
I found them at World Market if you have one 🙂
They’re smaller than Costco or Sams, but sell in slightly larger quantities for some things than a regular grocery store. In Seattle area they’re called Cash and Carry. I’m not sure if they’re in the South/East. Prices are better for the syrups than online or World Market too.
I love Smart and Final! They are all over Socal. An important thing though is that Smart and Final does not require membership! Any one can go in, whenvever. Love them!
I also do diet cherry Dr Pepper, sugar free vanilla and half and half. Oh my goodness! MMMMM!
