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!

This drink sounds amazing. Iʻll be looking for some sugar-free coconut syrup tomorrow.
I did want to share the latest trend for me. Cooking bread in a crockpot. I saw a link on Facebook back to the website of the good people who developed the Artisan Bread in Five Minutes A Day- Zoe and Jeff. They baked one of their bread doughs in a 4 quart crockpot for an hour. I loved the idea because itʻs getting fresh baked bread without heating up your kitchen during this hot summer. Even here in the NW, our afternoons get heated. I tried a regular bread dough using all purpose flour and followed their directions, and about an hour and a half later, lovely freshly baked bread. It looked blond and I did not put it under the broiler to brown it, enjoyed it blonde. My dinner guests gobbled it right down. Iʻm encouraging you to try it.
I am up north but bed bath and beyond has them in the aisle that has the cups for the keurig coffee machine!
Wow – this is sorta like a DDP float without the ice cream…. how cool! Now, let’s see…. where will I find the Diet Dr. Pepper here?? I’ll have to start hunting…. the coconut syrup is in many stores here, as is the milk/cream, but the elusive DDP may be a tough cookie to locate. Thanks, and great photos, too! Enjoy unplugging.
Sam’s Clubs carry those syrups in the large sized bottle shown, but the WalMart stores only carry a much smaller bottle.
Many grocery stores can special order.
And a final note…call local coffee shops. They know where to get the goods and will sell you one from their stock!
TA-DA!
I’m also gonna try this with just Almond Breeze Coconut milk. and no syrup
In Spokane, WA I get my Torani syrups at Cash and Carry for $4.00 a bottle. However, you can also get them at World Market but they are $7.00 a bottle. I’m looking forward to trying your Muddy Dr. Pepper.
In Texas you can get the flavored syrups at H.E.B. Plus and Central Market. This recipe brings a giggle when I thin about it. It reminds me of the show Lavern and Shirley and she always drank milk and Pepsi. At Sonic drive in you can get any flavored syrup you want added to your soda and I often order a diet Sprite with vanilla syrup. YUMMY!!! My daughter orders a Dr. Pepper with vanilla. We live about 35 miles from where Dr. Pepper was created and go to the museum often. You can actually purchase the original recipe Dr. Pepper there when it was made with Imperial sugar in the little 10 ounce bottles.
