Equipment
Method
Canned Soda
Chill (if not already chilled)
Ensure the can of Diet Coke is well chilled. Ideally refrigerate for at least 2 hours or place in an ice bucket for 10–15 minutes. Do not freeze the can; freezing can burst it.
Prepare glass and ice (optional)
If using a glass, fill it with ice cubes to your preference. Using ice is optional — many drink straight from the can.
Open the can
Hold the can upright on a stable surface. Use the pull tab to open the can away from your face. If the can has a safety seal, peel it away before pulling the tab.
Garnish (optional)
If desired, squeeze a lime wedge lightly over the drink and drop the wedge into the glass or rest it on the can rim. This is optional and will slightly alter the flavor profile.
Serve
Serve immediately to enjoy maximum carbonation and best flavor. Discard any unused soda after a few hours if left open to avoid flatness and diminished taste.
Equipment
If not drinking from the can, set an appropriate glass on a stable surface before opening to make pouring easier. No special tools are needed for pull-tab cans.
