Method
Can
- 1
Chill and open
If the can is not already chilled, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or place the unopened 12 oz can in an ice bath for 5–10 minutes. When ready to serve, hold the can upright on a stable surface and lift the tab to open the can. Pour the contents slowly into a glass if using ice; otherwise drink directly from the can.
Optional Additions

Serve over ice
If you prefer your Diet Coke cold with dilution from ice, add 4 ice cubes to a tall glass. Tilt the glass and pour the Diet Coke slowly down the side to preserve carbonation and minimize foaming.

Garnish
If desired, rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass and drop the wedge into the drink or squeeze a small amount for a citrus note. Optionally, slap a mint sprig between your hands to release aroma and add as a garnish.
