Method
Drink Base
Measure cola syrup and water
Chill the carbonated water thoroughly. In a measuring pitcher, pour 60 ml of Mexican-style cola syrup or concentrated cola extract. Add 360 ml of chilled carbonated water. Stir gently once or twice with a long spoon to combine — avoid vigorous stirring to preserve carbonation.
Adjust sweetness
Taste the mixture. If the cola syrup is less sweet than you prefer, add up to 15 ml cane sugar simple syrup and stir gently again. If you prefer a slightly sharper, more authentic Mexican-Coke profile, skip additional syrup and use the syrup as-is.
Finish & Garnish
Prepare glass and ice
Fill a tall glass with 1 cup crushed ice or large ice cubes. If using crushed ice, pack lightly to leave space for fizz.
Combine and serve
Pour the prepared cola mixture over the ice slowly to retain carbonation. If using, squeeze the juice of half a fresh lime over the top, then drop the squeezed half into the glass for aroma. Add a tiny pinch (about 1/4 tsp) of sea salt if you want to accentuate flavor — stir once gently to mix.
Garnish
Garnish with an optional sprig of fresh mint and serve immediately with a straw or short stirring spoon.
