Method
Prepare Glass
- 1
Chill and fill
Chill a highball or tall glass in the freezer for a few minutes (optional). Add about 1 cup of fresh ice cubes to the glass if you want your drink cold and slightly diluted.
Mix Drink

- 3
Top with carbonated water
Slowly pour 1 cup of chilled carbonated water (soda water) into the glass over the back of a spoon or down the side to preserve carbonation and help mix gently with the syrup.
- 4
Stir gently
Give the drink 1–2 gentle stirs with a long spoon to combine syrup and carbonated water evenly without losing too much fizz.
Finish & Serve
- 5
Garnish
If desired, squeeze the juice of 1 lime wedge into the drink for a bright citrus note and drop the wedge into the glass as a garnish.
- 6
Serve immediately while cold and fizzy. Adjust syrup amount to taste for sweeter or stronger cola flavor; for larger servings scale ingredients proportionally.
