Chill and prepare
Ensure the can is well chilled (refrigerated for at least 2 hours or placed in an ice bath for 15–20 minutes). Having the soda cold preserves carbonation and gives the best flavor.
Open the can
Hold the can upright on a stable surface. Grip the tab and pull upward to break the seal, then push the tab back until it rests against the top of the can. Listen for the initial hiss indicating carbonation release.
Serve straight from can (preferred)
Drink directly from the can for the classic experience. Tilt the can slightly and sip. Optionally squeeze the lime wedge onto the opening before sipping for a bright citrus note.
Serve over ice (optional)
If you prefer your drink in a glass: fill a tall glass with the optional ice cubes. Pour the chilled can slowly down the inside of the glass to retain as much carbonation as possible. Garnish the rim with the lime wedge or squeeze it into the glass for added flavor.
Discard the empty can responsibly (recycle if facilities are available).
