How to Make a Dirty Diet Coke
Last week at dinner with friends we were talking about how to make a dirty diet coke, and I was surprised they hadn’t heard of it! If they hadn’t heard of it, then I definitely needed to share it here with you too. It’s so good! If you’re a diet coke drinker or a diet pepsi drinker (like I am), than you’ll love it! It’s like a bit of tropical paradise in your mouth. It is Summer, which means we all should be sippin on a big old bevy (aka beverage) everyday.
How to Make a Dirty Diet Coke
You’ve got to start with the good ice. Whether you call it pebble ice, pellet ice or crushed ice, the ice with any icy cold beverage is key. Our local gas station (Holiday Oil) sells the good ice by the bag, or Sonic Drive Thru sells it too.
Here is what you need to make a Dirty Diet Coke
-1 can Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi
-1 large scoop pebble ice
-3 pumps Coconut Syrup
-1 lime wedge, squeezed
Once you’ve added your diet coke to your ice, you’ll add a big lime wedge. Not a slice…you need a wedge to squeeze it all in!
Finish off with the special ingredient: the Torani sugar free coconut syrup. Stir it all around and enjoy! It’s like a little bit of Hawaiian flavor.
One last thing…I need to share a little tip with you. In keepin’ it real, I need to share that truthfully, I can’t stand drinking out of those darling striped paper straws, they gross me out. I think they’re too cute and I love to use them as photo props when I can, but for the best icy cold bevy experience…
For the Ultimate 32oz Beverage
-32oz. plastic cup
-32oz. styrofoam cup
-super skinny plastic straw
I love a big 32oz. in sturdy plastic cup. One I can squeeze the ice around if I need to. For the ultimate…Add a big styrofoam sonic cup stacked on the outside of the plastic cup. The styrofoam Sonic cup keeps the ice frozen inside the plastic cup for so long, it’s awesome! No water condensation on your hands. A skinny plastic straw is ideal for sipping all day long. You’ll have to try it…the DOUBLE CUP is the best!
*Sometimes, the Torani sugar-free coconut syrup is hard to find in Utah. Typically you can find it at World Market stores or at Orson Gygi (a specialty kitchen store), I also found it on Amazon.
I’d love to know, have you tried this yet? Are you a big diet coke or diet pepsi drinker?
