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!

Hi Christy! We found the Torani syrups at World Market stores. We like to add it to our coffee some mornings. I have loved all of your recipes I have tried so far and will have to give this one a try when I get a chance!
Looks so yummy. I know our Harris Teeter grocery stores in NC carry the Torani brand syrups but I’m not sure about this flavor specifically. Can’t wait to try!
Hi Christy! 🙂 I am a fan of Dr Pepper, my grandPappa was a DP truck driver , and diet-DP since now being diabetic. Would this work with just the half n half? I don’t really like the taste of coconut. Is there something else that would work instead? My glands are salivating…..Want one now! ~snicker, grin~
I just made this with some variations. I don’t care for doctor pepperand I could not find the coconut syrup so i used root beer and cream of coconu with a splash of half n half. so yummy..its like a root beer float but better..thank you christy
Ohh, great substitutions Heidi!!!

I’ll have y’all know that my not quite 11 year old son scoffed at this recipe. However, I knew right away it was a winner. I found some Torani vanilla syrup at a local store, on sale, for under four bucks a bottle. I can only imagine how good it is with coconut but there was none on the shelf. I’m using regular syrup and Dr. Pepper and guess who’s beggin’, “Make me one, please, Mama!”? Yup. It just goes to show, Mother knows best. 😉 Thank you for another great recipe, Miss Christy!
That’d be not quite 12 year old. 😀
We buy our Torani sugar-free syrups at World Market they have a huge selection including some seasonal flavors, like pumpkin in regular and sugar-free in the fall.
