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!

Been doing this basically for years. Remember the TV show Laverne and Shirley? Milk and Pepsi was he favorite drink. I tried it back then and fell in love and I use Diet Pepsi for it! I fell in love and tried it out with Root Beer — Umm Umm Good, but one day I mixed the Milk with Dr.Pepper and met up with one of the best drinks I have ever had!
It IS possible to make this even better… Just Add a couple of tablespoons of raspberry purée. Make a raspberry dp dream. It’s amazing!
Oh my goodness, I will have to try that Marilyn!!
I used to enjoy a “Cocaine Lady”, a similar drink with vodka, Kaluha, Coke, and cream. I don’t drink alcohol anymore, don’t generally go for the “Virgin” counterparts. But this is a whole new ballgame… yum! Definitely stands on its own, and the kids love it, too. Almost a float, but without the mess 🙂
This would probably work with strong brewed tea, similar to Thai ice tea.
Christy, you can make your own coconut syrup, super cheap too! 1 can coconut milk (14 oz), 3/4 cup brown sugar*, 1 cup flaked, unsweetened coconut. (1) combine all ingredients in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. (2) bring to a boil then reduce heat to simmer. (3) Simmer 20 to 25 minutes uncovered, stirring occasionally. (4) remove from heat. (5) with a stick blender or a regular blender half full, whip on high speed till thick and smooth. (6) pour into a 1 quart mason jar with lid and refrigerate until used. it can be poured onto hot cakes, pancakes/waffles/french toast, doughnuts, pound cake, zucchini bread, oatmeal cake, poke cake, or poured into a glass of ice/diet dr, pepper and half and half. * can use splenda brown sugar substitute or heck you can probably even use plain sugar or substitute but i haven’t tried it.
Great idea Barbara!!! Thank you for sharing!!
Smart and final or cash and carry has hundreds of different torani syrups
Reminds me of the “coke floats” of the 50’s. Ice cream in the bottom of a glass, and then filled with coke! Good!
