My cousin Bevany had mentioned a "Dirty Coke" to me. She said that it was amazing and I needed to try it.
"What the heck is a Dirty Coke?" I asked.
She explained that it was Coke with coconut syrup and a lime. Gross. First of all, I do not like Coke, I am a Diet Coke girl, all the way. Second, I hate coconut. Gross, gross, double gross. Lime? Meh. I don't really like lime either. If asked if I want a lime in my DC I will generally say no.
She still swore that it was amazing. I finally said that I would try it. Or at least I would try the Diet version.
I decided to be brave. I stopped at Sonic and I asked for a Diet coke with coconut and a lime. They asked if I wanted "blue coconut" or "coconut cream pie". Blue coconut didn't sound right, so I said I'd have the cream pie. I paid my $2, they gave me my drink, and I hesitantly sipped it.
"OH MY GOSH."
I sipped it again.
"OH MY GOSH!"
Every single time I took a drink I had a mini freak-out because it was SO GOOD. {Picture Kevin from The Office taking a bit of a candy bar during their silent game only to exclaim, "OH YEAH!", breaking the silence.}
I now have a problem with Dirty Diet Coke. I shared it with my bosses who now also have problems with Dirty Diet Cokes. And there's a new kid in here today, his name is Maxwell. I got him one on my lunch run and he just barely came out of the office saying, "THIS IS SO GOOD!" Um yeah, it really is.
My sister-in-law, Cherry, and I have been trying to make it at home. We each bought different coconut syrups to mix with our own DCs and limes. It's not the same. Neither of them tasted right.
Then I came across this: Our Best Bites Dirty Diet Coke Recipe. This makes sense. Putting the half and half in it would give it the creamy goodness that my plain coconut syrup is lacking.
This, my friends, is the perfect summertime drink. It is sweet and tangy and delicious. It begs to be sipped next to a swimming pool.
Try it out, let me know what you think! I can pretty much promise that you won't regret it.
