1
Chill the carbonated water thoroughly before starting. Cold water holds carbonation better and yields a crisper drink.
2
Measure 1/4 cup (about 60 ml) of diet cola syrup or Diet Pepsi concentrate. Pour the syrup into a chilled tall glass or a mixing glass.
3
Slowly add 1 cup (about 240 ml) of chilled carbonated water to the syrup. Pour gently down the side of the glass or over the back of a spoon to preserve carbonation and reduce foaming.
4
Stir gently with a long spoon 3–4 slow strokes to combine the syrup and carbonated water. Avoid vigorous stirring to minimize loss of fizz.

5
If using, add 1 cup of ice cubes to a separate serving glass (or into the mixing glass before pouring). Pour the mixed Diet Pepsi over the ice.
6
Squeeze a lemon or lime wedge lightly over the finished drink for a bright citrus accent, then drop the wedge into the glass if desired.
7
Garnish with a mint sprig for aroma if using. Serve immediately to enjoy maximum carbonation and flavor.
