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!

Christy, I’m sure I’ve seen these syrups at Walmart (I know how you love Walmart!). I will check when I get there again. Also, could you use different syrups? Can you taste a lot of coconut? I always have coke in the house think I’ll try it with coke too see which we like best and maybe a different syrup. Thanks so much for a summer drink without alcohol (altho I bet you could add rum or vodka if you wanted. Something to play around with.)
Thanks so much for posting this wonderful drink. Love Dr. Pepper, so I’ll for sure try this drink…..
Enjoy your vacation…get some well deserved rest (if you can)!
Thanks again!
Hi Christy! I get all sorts of flavored syrups, mostly sugar free, but they have more flavors with sugar at a place called cash N carry in Modesto, California! Come see us!
LOVE THIS!!!
Hi, The Torani can be found where coffee is located in all WALMART’s and ALBERTSON’S and KROGER.. If they do not have the flavor you want They will order it for you. We use this all the time and sugar does taste a lot better than sugar free.. Hope this helps.
I was wondering if anyone had tried using the Dr. Pepper with Cherry and how it turned out?
I went to http://www.Torani.com and they have a store locator on their web site. For me in Indiana a local store and also Meijer’s carries their products. In Alabama it looks like a store by the name of Cost Plus World Market carries them. I am not sure if they carry the coconut syrup though. They seem to have a great variety of syrups. I am definitely going to try this soon!
