Things Are About To Get “Dirty”

I LOVE Diet Coke.  I know it’s not good for me. I know I shouldn’t drink it in place of my 8 glasses of water a day (ha ha).  I know all that, but I LOVE Diet Coke.  I love it with Mexican food, salad, pizza or at the movies.  I’m pathetic.  To make matters worse, my friend introduced me to a “dirty” Diet Coke last December.  Curse you Karalyn.  Curse you.

I told my sister about them one day after a meeting and we went to the burger joint to get one.  She went back the next day and the next.  (A twenty minute  plus drive). She made a few of those trips,which sealed the deal: They are worth the drive, AND she is more pathetic than me.

She decided that jumping in her not so tiny car and driving 20 minutes for a Coke made the drink…”fiscally unsound”.  I mean, who needs a $10.00 coke when you’re not at a broadway play?  She decided to make them at home.  (A perk when I’m visiting).

She came up with this recipe.  Tweak it as you see fit.

12 oz Diet Coke

1 slice fresh lime well squozen

1/2 teaspoon Torani Coconut syrup

* You can purchase coconut syrup at many distribution stores and grocery stores.  They are often in the coffee aisle or where other flavorings are found.  Torani is the brand we found that had more natural coconut and less artificial flavoring.
