1
Chill
Ensure the Diet Coke is well chilled before serving (refrigerated for at least 1–2 hours or use a chilled can/bottle).
2
Prepare glass
Select a highball or tall glass. Add 6 ice cubes to the glass to keep the drink cold without diluting (adjust ice amount to preference).
3
Pour
Open the chilled Diet Coke and slowly pour 12 fl oz (one standard can) into the glass over the ice to preserve carbonation.
4
Garnish (optional)
If desired, squeeze a lime wedge lightly over the drink and drop it in, or add a lemon slice on the rim. For an aromatic note, slap a mint sprig between your palms and tuck it into the glass.
5
Serve
Serve immediately while cold and fizzy. Provide a straw or stirring spoon if preferred.
