True Citrus

Ingredients

  • 12 fl oz

    Diet Coke (or Diet Coke Sublime Lime for extra citrusy goodness)

  • 1

    packet of True Lime

  • Ice, as needed

  • Fresh lime wedge, to garnish

  • 1 tbsp

    coconut syrup (optional, for a hint of sweetness)

  • 2 tbsp

    half & half (optional)

Directions

  1. Fill a large glass with ice (as much or as little as you like).
  2. Pour in the coconut syrup, then sprinkle in the True Lime packet.
  3. Slowly add the Diet Coke, letting the fizz work its magic.
  4. Top with half & half for that creamy touch.
  5. Stir well, garnish with a lime wedge, and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Pro Tip: If you’re feeling adventurous, swap the coconut syrup for ginger lime syrup or add a splash of Blanco tequila for a grown-up twist on a dirty Diet Coke cocktail.

  • Yes - you can also make this with any of your favorite sodas like Sprite or Orange Soda! These recipes work great with zero sugar versions too! If you love CocaCola Zero Sugar, swap it in for a lower-calorie option.
  • If your soda goes flat, don’t panic! A quick trick is to add a pinch of baking soda before stirring—it brings the bubbles back.
  • If you’re worried about your creamer curdling in the dirty Diet Coke, use a coconut-based creamer instead of half & half. The flavors blend better without separating.
  • Feeling daring? Add a splash of spiced rum, whiskey, or even coconut tequila to either drink for an adults-only treat. We won’t tell!
