. . . a new fave frosty beverage . . .

. . . you've probably seen it, too . . . 

. . . apparently this craze started 

at swig in st. george, utah . . .

. . . of course it did . . .

. . . it's called a dirty diet coke . . .

{or regular coke, or dr. pepper, or diet dr. pepper}

. . . the important part is the dirty . . .

. . . you can find the recipe on our best bites . . .

. . . but the basic formula is diet coke . . . 

. . . plus coconut syrup . . .

{i found mine at smart & final}

. . . plus freshly squeezed lime juice . . .

. . . over "crushed ice" . . .

. . . and is there any crushed ice fairer 

than that which can be purchased 

at sonic? . . .

. . . rhetorical question . . .

. . . i would like to suggest 

a couple of upgrades . . .

. . . a 44 ounce styrofoam cup and lid . . .

. . . and a reusable aluminum straw . . .

. . . mine happens to be a maverik chill pipe . . .

. . . while friends of mine 

are showing such discipline 

and cutting soda out of their lives . . .

. . . i'm finding yet more ways 

to enhance and embellish 

my favorite vice . . .
