Method

Base

1

Chill a 12 fl oz can or bottle of Coke Zero in the refrigerator until cold (around 2–3 hours) or use a fridge-chilled bottle. If using a glass bottle or can straight from a cooler, wipe dry to avoid water dripping into the drink.

2

Select a tall glass (12–16 oz capacity) and optionally fill it with 1 cup of ice cubes if you prefer a very cold drink. Note: ice will dilute carbonation slightly as it melts.

3

Open the chilled Coke Zero carefully to preserve carbonation. Pour the Coke Zero into the glass over the ice, pouring slowly down the side of the glass to reduce foaming and retain fizz. Pour until the glass is approximately 90% full (about 12 fl oz).

Optional additions

4

Lime garnish

If using a fresh lime wedge, run the wedge around the rim of the glass for a light citrus aroma, then drop the wedge into the drink or perch it on the rim. You can squeeze the wedge into the drink for a hint of citrus—about 1/2 teaspoon of juice—if desired.

5

Mint

Lightly clap the mint sprig between your palms to release oils, then tuck it into the drink as a garnish or gently bruise the leaves against the rim before adding for a subtle mint aroma. Do not muddle heavily, as that can release bitter flavors.

6

Garnish twist

Add a lemon or lime twist on the rim for a decorative squeeze of citrus oils across the surface of the drink.

7

Serve immediately while cold to preserve carbonation and crispness.
