1
Chill and prepare glass
Ensure the Diet Coke is well chilled (refrigerated for at least 1–2 hours or use a chilled can/bottle). Choose a highball or Collins glass and fill it with 6 ice cubes.
2
Pour Diet Coke
Slowly pour 12 oz of chilled Diet Coke over the ice to minimize foaming. Pour down the side of the glass if possible to keep carbonation.
3
Finish and garnish
Squeeze the fresh lime wedge over the top of the drink to release a light splash of juice, then drop the wedge into the glass if desired. Optionally, tuck a mint sprig against the glass rim for aroma. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
