Dirty Diet Coke
Recipe adapted by Our Best Bites
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons coconut syrup
crushed ice
1/2 lime (cut the lime into quarters and use 2 quarters)
12 ounces Diet Coke
1-2 tablespoons half and half (optional)
Instructions:
Pour the coconut syrup into the bottom of a 24-ounce glass. Fill it about halfway full with crushed ice. Squeeze the lime quarters over the ice and drop them into the glass so the rind is touching the ice. Pour the Diet Coke over the spent limes. If desired, add a splash of half and half. Add a straw to stir and serve. Makes 1 serving.

wow show notes are so fucking pro!!!! can’t wait !!!
I joined UNTAPPD as INTERNJOSH! I’m drinking a beer right now and I don’t know how to use this thing! HELP
I am ElJuan. GFY bevfriends!!
Take a picture of your beer, rate it, say something clever! You’re done!
Also, my username is Bethy612, but I think it shows up as Pirate Cat?
I think you lift the glass/can/bottle of beer toward your face, attempt to line up the opening in said container with your partially opened mouth, and tip your head and said container backwards. Make sure not to overfill your mouth and to swallow periodically.

I am garyonly only on Untappd and I just friended everyone (hopefully didn’t miss anyone). Go fuck yourselves!
Long time listener, first time commenter. Hey Bevheads I’m Wolfhound86 on UNTAPPD! GFY!
renee.ellis is my name!
Untappd = rlbourquin
I joined as SarahTBASH. We’ll figure it out together.
Love the show. I called about “The Green Lid Coffee with the Bird on It.” I’d love to connect more….I’m crazy about BEVS just as you are!
Rock on.
I think I can help with the mystery origin of lunking. I had also never heard of this but if you google lunking and drinking there are some definitions that come up from urban dictionary. 😉
Thanks and go fuck yourselves!
This episode made me so happy. Love JKJ!
As a Utah native, she got a lot of the Utah stuff totally right. There are gas stations on every corner with full fountain drink situations. There are also soda shops where you can buy any soda with flavor shots in them.
The Dirty Diet Coke or a Dirty Dr. Pepper is definitely the most famous around Utah, and it cracks me up because it tastes like a Rum and Diet Coke without the benefits of the rum!
I do know quite a few Mormons though that drink O’Douls. They like the taste of beer, and this is their loop hole of drinking without drinking.
Also, just joined UNTAPPD- Pinkwallflower
And I guess P.S. This will make #LunkIng not nearly as exciting. #LunkIng is when my super bestie Ingy and I get together for happy good times. Our nicknames are Lunk and Ing which tada= #LunkIng. Go look on the instagrams and you’ll see all sorts of drunkin good times.
We still listen, but we can only call in together when we are together, and while I’m still sadly in Utah, she is up in Seattle!
Of course, I delete my snap chat and you guys start actually using it!
I am happy that you guys at least touched on the (possible, but dare I say LIKELY) health risks/concerns of aspartame. I know I’m in the minority but that shizz makes me SICK. It makes me queasy and dizzy, and left feeling sluggish and headachy. Shit’s poison, y’all.
Love that you had Jenna Kim Jones on!! I’ve been listening to Alison Rosen’s podcast and her husband was talking about her love of Diet Coke. I was hoping this would happen, but didn’t think it’d be this soon!
Love the show and GFY!
PS - if ya’ll ever want another animated segment, I’m your man! I loved making the intro.
I’m the one who bought the Ello water bottle and I love it, thanks for the idea, Andy! And thanks guys for such an awesome, hilarious, and informative show! Best part of my Fridays : )
Hey guys,
I’m a Utah native and ex-Mormon. A few points of clarity… the 3.2% beer thing is commonly misunderstood. It’s actually 3.2% by weight not volume which actually translates to about 4.0% by volume. The conversion varies a bit depending on the density of the particular beer. But for regular beer like Bud light or Miller light for example, it means that there’s essentially no difference. Bud light is a 4.2% alcohol by volume. The 0.2 % falls within the acceptable variance that Utah accepts as a reality of the imperfection in the brewing process. For higher content beers such as Sam Adams, it does matter and those have to be purchased at a liquor store. But a store bought cheaper beer is only very slightly less… if at all.
Also, there are several Starbucks throughout Utah and many more individually owned coffee shops as well as other chains. A popular coffee chain here is Beans and Brews. But there are others. Particularly in Salt Lake which is a liberal oasis. I live in Cache Valley. A very conservative and religious area of Utah in the north. Fairly small and still very rural for the most part and we have at least 5 coffee shops (off the top of my head) including a Starbucks. That said, Mormons I know are basically divided on caffeine. Some sick down Coke or diet Coke like they’ve been wandering in the desert but the orthodox Mormons (which is the majority here) would NEVER allow caffeine to pass their lips any more tHan alcohol. Coffee is never Ok.
YES!
I’ve lived in Salt Lake City and have to always correct people: it’s way more liberal than you think.
Someone in the area needs to send RoRo and JoJo some Jack Mormon coffee. It’s the best!
Yes! I’m from Utah as well and I LOVE Beans & Brews! Also instead of a dirty diet coke I just have a dirty coke! Not a fan of diet sodas.
* suck down Coke. Not sick down coke. Sorry
The thought of Coke makes me sick, it’s ok. (It must be weird to be a person who doesn’t have an opinion in the Pepsi/Coke battle)
One more thing. “Jack Mormons” are prevalent and hilarious. Especially the ones that go to church and pretend to that community that they’re following all the rules but then have non Mormon friends that they secretly sin with. My husband knows several. There’s a well known joke here that goes….
Why should you always take two Mormons fishing instead of one?
Cause if you only take one, he’ll drink all your beer.
Really enjoyed the episode. I love the podcast! And on that note…..
Go Fuck Yourselves!
This episode was amazing. The airhorn voicemail may be my new favorite. Dude had his shit together.
What is the tbash snapchat handle?? Can’t find it anywhere!
Is it just me, or did she say Cherry Pomegranate was her #AL-time favorite Crystal Light?
The Toddy System for cold brewing is amazing! I was a barista, and that’s how we brewed our cold brew, and that’s how most small/local shops do it, too. Super smooth, VERY concentrated (1/2 water, half toddy concentrate).
I love to do half milk/almond milk and half toddy.
It’s also fairly cheap, so I say definitely go for it if you’re into iced coffee. Also works for iced tea!
LOVED this episode! I was literally thinking about how a coke/pepsi/etc shoot out would be cool and then BAM, there it is! That’s the TBASH signature flow in action, people!
Re: teeth and Diet Coke — I drink a lot of Coke Zero; you could say I have somewhat of a problem. I also have braces (yeah, I’m 23 with braces, I’m crushing life, what?!). Anyway, with the braces I see a lot of the orthodontist/dental hygienist/oral surgeon/regular dentist, and they ALWAYS comment on how good my teeth look (and they don’t even know about all the zeroes I’m throwing back, so it’s not just a “good considering”!). And YES! I drink almost all my bevs through a straw! Water’s good, but if it has any colour in it, I’m throwing a straw in that bad boy. Especially if it sort of feels like the amount of acid in it will dissolve my teeth right as I’m drinking. The straw thing doesn’t look so great in fancy restaurants but ayy, who gives a fuck! I will not be messed around when it comes to my beverages. As always gentlemen, GFY *AIRHORN AIRHORN AIRHORN*
