Method
Prepare & Serve
- 1
Chill
Ensure the Coca‑Cola can has been refrigerated for at least 1–2 hours so the drink is cold before serving. If you don’t have a chilled can, place it in an ice bath for 10–15 minutes or refrigerate for 30–60 minutes.

Prepare Glass
If serving in a glass, fill a highball or tumbler with about 1 cup of fresh ice cubes. For a classic presentation, use plenty of ice so the drink stays cold but does not overflow.
- 3
Open & Pour
Hold the chilled can upright and gently open the tab. Pour the Coca‑Cola slowly down the inside of the glass (if using) to preserve carbonation and reduce excessive foaming. If serving directly from the can, simply open and serve.
- 4
Garnish (Optional)
If desired, squeeze a lime wedge lightly over the top and drop it into the glass or balance it on the rim. Add a small mint sprig for aroma and presentation.
- 5
Serve
Serve immediately while cold. Provide a straw if preferred. Reclose the can using a can stopper if saving for later, but note carbonation will slowly dissipate.
