Mexican Coke Recipe

Chill bottle

Ensure the Mexican Coke is well chilled before serving. Place the glass bottle in the refrigerator for at least 1–2 hours or in an ice-filled cooler for 20–30 minutes until cold to the touch.

If using a lime garnish, wash the lime and cut a thin wheel or wedge (about 1/8–1/4 inch thick). If you prefer a squeeze of lime, halve the lime.

Prepare a serving glass by filling it with about 1 cup of ice. Use crushed ice if desired; otherwise use large cubes to slow dilution.

Open the chilled glass bottle of Mexican Coke. Hold the bottle upright and pour slowly into the prepared glass over the ice to preserve carbonation and reduce foaming.

If using a wheel or wedge: place the lime on the rim or float it in the glass. If using a squeeze: squeeze half the lime over the Coke, then drop the spent half into the glass for extra aroma and flavor.

Optional: slap a mint sprig between your palms to release oils and tuck it into the glass as an aromatic garnish (do not muddle into the drink).

Serve immediately with a straw or sipping directly from the glass. Enjoy chilled.
