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!

Starbucks has all the Torani syrups- regular and sugar free.
In addition to Walmart and Target, Trader Joe carries the Torani syrups. I’ve never looked for the Coconut, but T J does have a large selection.
Gotta try this … Diet Dr. Pepper is my favorite.
Walmart, Target, and other groceries carry some flavor varieties of Torani and/or DaVinci syrups (regular and sugar free) near the coffee. I have also seen them at TJ Maxx and Ross but that’s random. If you want a specific flavor, especially in sugar free, I think on-line is probably your best bet. Wonder how it might be with the new Caramel Coconut (Girl Scout Cookie Flavor) coffee creamer?
Cash and Carry has a huge selection of syrups.
Sam’s club carries a different brand of the s/f syrup here in Huntsville & Wally world sells Torani’s on the coffee isle. And sometimes you can find it at TJ Maxx/Ross/Marshalls in Huntsville as well.
would other flavored simple syrups work? not a coconut fan, but I love me a good dr. pepper! and as much as I love your coldbrew coffee with plenty fo evaporated and sweetened cond. milk “creamer”…(and lots of ice)…I like to switch it out.
say…..I bet that “creamer” would work in a muddy dr pepper too. (and I presume it doesn’t need to be diet to work for this 😉 )
It sounded so good that I just tried with the only ingredients I had on hand: Diet Dr. Pepper with “Coconut Milk Creamer” (in the dairy section with other creamers.) I don’t know how it compares with the above recipe. But I love it!!!
