Canned Soda - Coke Recipe

Chill (if not already chilled)

Ensure the can of Coca‑Cola is well chilled. If it's not cold, place the can in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or in an ice bath for about 15–20 minutes until cold.

Optional glass prep

If you prefer to pour the soda into a glass, chill the glass in the refrigerator or fill it with ice for a minute then discard excess water so the drink stays colder longer.

Open the can carefully by pulling the tab. Tilt the can slightly and pour the soda slowly down the side of the glass (if using a glass) to preserve carbonation and avoid excessive foaming.

If serving over ice, add 4 ice cubes to the glass before pouring. Pour the chilled Coke over the ice slowly.

Optional: Squeeze the wedge of lemon or lime over the top and drop it into the glass for a subtle citrus note.

Insert a straw if desired and serve immediately to enjoy maximum carbonation.
