I also recommend drinking from a proper glass, like the above pictured Simon Pearce, to feel a little less Appalachian about the whole endeavor.
It is important to pour the orange juice, approximately 6oz, first to achieve the maximum "fizz" effect. We like to use the orange juice with calcium to feign health consciousness and have even gone as far as juicing organic oranges.
Follow with a full 12oz can of Diet Mountain Dew. Cans rather than bottles make for a more authentic PWT experience.
When the mixology is done correctly, it results in the perfect "Orange Julius" head of fizz which Babe swears is the best part. Cheers!!! And, best wishes in rehab...
Disclaimer...JDR's are highly addictive and reputation tarnishing. I started with just a sip and before I knew it I had a two a day habit. Undergoing IVF forced me to go cold turkey and endure some of the most debilitating headaches of my life. And, I would venture that no amount of Brooks Brothers or Hermes can trump the très declassé first impression making power a JDR has in a high level breakfast meeting with Partners and CEO's.
Hmmm... very interesting! Especially when you need a little mid-day lift. Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeletei miss caffeine so much! this looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteoh no! I must try that now (would you believe me if I said that I was getting up right now to buy a mountain dew? Because I am!)
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh that is hilarious and it actually looks sort of good!
ReplyDeleteBeware of the sugar content. My husband who drank juice was advised by his Doctor of the "sugar" laden negative benefits. It is better to eat an orange or a piece of fruit. Just looking out for your "babes" best interest at heart. Lemon with sparkling mineral water would be better

Wow, your snobbishness is amazing.
ReplyDeleteOh, Patricia, he also has a pretty serious sparkling water problem as well but, preferably with lime. His arguement is that since he does not drink alcohol he is allowed his tooth rotting vice.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, anonymous, I am well versed in snobbery but it's all in good fun. The nose in the air just happens to distract most from the good heart that lies beneath...XXOO
Hmmm, I've got a can of Vault in the fridge... just 5 extra calories... .
ReplyDeleteHahah! I love it. I will have to remember that the proper cup makes it lets Appie! Cheers!! Xoxo-BLC
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful timing. Now that the weather has warmed up here in the South Carolina lowcountry, I've been looking for a cooler alternative to my afternoon cup of coffee. This just might be it!!
ReplyDeleteI shared this recipe with my beau and he requested that we stop for diet Mt. Dew on our way home from work!!!
ReplyDeleteI love DMD. The buzz is def as intense as coffee. Will have to try this concoction.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! This looks really sickeningly sweet. Can't wait to try it! Ha!
