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!

Would a splash of milk work?
Yes Ma’am!
I have seen the syrups in the coffee section at my Target, here in San Diego 🙂 This drink looks delicious!
It actually makes sense that the dairy steps this up a notch. Think of how delicious a root beer float is!
World Market and some Publix have them. Several years ago I found some at Whole Foods in Birmingham. You can also order direct from Torani website. There are flavors offered on there that I can’t figure out what to do with for the life of me. You are so creative, Christy, that I am sure you would find something to make and you can share with us!
Walmart.com has the syrups so maybe the local store will have some.
Sounds like a mock Kahlua & Cream drink but without the alcohol & excess sugar/carbohydrates. Now, I will make it to see if it taste like a Kahlua & Cream.
A splash of half and half makes any drink better – I even add it to my sweet tea sometimes! I learned that trick when I went to a Thai restaurant and tried Thai iced tea; the half-and-half just floats on top, and it’s so good! I’ll have to give flavored syrups a try, too.
Oh this is a throw back to Lavern & Shirley and her “milk & Pepsi” drink!:)
That’s exactly what I thought!
Ditto! Oh that takes me back. Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley were my fave shows “back in the day”.
