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!

I purchase Torani syrups at Kroger. I live in north Alabama. It is located on the same aisle as the coffee products.
Have you ever seen sugar free coconut there? I’ve been hoping to find it locally 🙂
I am NOT a fan of coconut. Any other flavor suggestions? A refreshing cold drink is perfect in this not summer.
I think any fruit flavor would be good. Pineapple, cherry, etc?
Just made a big glass of this, and it is delicious!! I wasn’t sure about the coconut, but this is amazing!! THANKS!
🙂 I am so glad you liked it Julie!!
I have found the Torani syrup at World Market. If you have one nearby, check it out.
Thanks for the tip Jane!
Smart & Final carries a large number of the Torani Syrups, regular and Sugar-Free if you live near onel. Some “regular” grocery stores do carry a few flavors in the small bottles but charge a lot more for them, so the larger bottles are generally a better deal.
You can order them directly from Torani, which may be the simplest of all if no stores in your area carry them. I have ordered from them myself when I wanted a particular flavor for a gift and my local S&F didn’t have it. They are prompt and the bottles are well-packed. Their website is http://www.torani.com.
Thank you so much for letting us know Kathy!!!
Diet Dr. Pepper is my soda drink of choice. I WILL try this once I get the coconut syrup. Between this and an occasional iced coffee I may make it through another hot Alabama summer!
I hope you enjoy it Linda!! It does look like it is going to be a hot one doesn’t it?!
I just have to say “yummo!” My coconut syrup arrived mail order and I wasted NO time mixing me up a Muddy Diet Dr. Pepper. Oh mama that’s good, LOL. Yep, it is going to be even worse next week, they say, hitting 100 or close to it. UGH
I am so glad you liked it Linda!! I hope you stay cool!!
Sam’s club sells DaVinci brand syrups & I saw coconut in my local one last week
