Coke Zero Recipe

Chill & prepare glass

If possible, chill the glass in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes beforehand. Remove the bottle or can of Coke Zero from the fridge immediately before serving to keep it as cold as possible.

Add ice

Place 6 ice cubes into a tall glass (roughly 12–16 oz capacity). Adjust ice quantity to preference; use fewer cubes if you prefer less dilution and more beverage volume.

Pour Coke Zero

Open the chilled can or bottle. Pour 12 fl oz of Coke Zero slowly into the glass over the ice at a slight angle to reduce excessive foaming. Pause briefly if it foams and continue pouring until the glass is filled.

Finish with lime (optional)

Squeeze the juice of 1 fresh lime wedge over the top of the drink to taste (about 1/2 tsp–1 tsp juice). Drop the squeezed wedge into the glass for extra flavor if desired. Alternatively, rest a lime wheel on the rim as a garnish.

Garnish (optional)

If using, lightly clap a mint sprig between your palms to release aroma and add it as a garnish. Serve immediately with a straw or stirring stick.

Enjoy your cold, crisp Coke Zero. Store any unused opened bottle in the refrigerator and consume within 24–48 hours for best carbonation and flavor.
