I have a genuine love for Diet Coke®. At work, when my coworkers think I am having a tough day, they leave a Diet Coke® on my desk, so I can perk up. When my sister wants me to know she was thinking of me, she appears with a Diet Coke®. Diet Coke® has always been something to gift the people I care about.
I am a digital content manager for a news station, so I am all about creativity, late nights and long days. My go to companion for a 2 a.m. idea blitz is a can of Diet Coke® – especially their new feisty cherry flavor. I am branded a millennial, and the only thing I can say is true is we work way more than what the clock allows. Between blogging, working, thinking and creating, I barely have time for a social life.
I love taking a pause to grab a Diet Coke® with friends and coworkers. Not only does it let my brain rest, it gives me time to get out of my box. It is time to get some energy and let our creative juices flow!
When Diet Coke® released their new flavors and their sleek new design, I ran to the stores to try one of each. The new flavors include the classic Diet Coke®, Feisty Cherry, Ginger Lime, Twisted Mango and Zesty Blood Orange.
After drinking the new flavors for months, I started making my own cocktails at home. I always have Diet Coke Feisty Cherry (because it’s my favorite) and a bottle of whiskey on hand, so I began making Cherry Vanilla Diet Coke Whiskey Slushies on the daily to combat the Texas heat.
Literally, my friends and I have enjoyed these every night this week with a meal on the grill on our newly renovated porch. Swinging on a hammock and sipping a slushy under the stars is an easy way to uplift your mood instantly!
This recipe is so easy to make, but it seems impressive enough to make your friends think you know a thing or two about mixology.
Plus, my favorite place on earth to spend and hour or two, Target, has a great promotion running from 7/22-9/3! You can get to two packs for $6.
And, you can grab a bottle to sip on while you shop in Target (because everyone knows you cant just go to Target for one thing).
