Drink

Garnish (optional)

Method

Prepare glass

1

Choose glass and chill

Select a tall Collins or highball glass (12–16 fl oz capacity). If desired, place the glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes beforehand to keep the drink colder longer.

2

Fill the chilled glass with about 6 ice cubes, leaving room at the top for the soda and a small head of foam.

Assemble drink

3

Open a 12 fl oz can or pour from a chilled bottle of Diet Coke slowly over the ice into the glass to preserve carbonation. Pour down the side of the glass if you want less foam.

4

Allow the soda to settle briefly so foam diminishes, about 5–10 seconds.

Finish and serve

5

If desired, squeeze the optional lime wedge gently over the surface (one quick squeeze) and drop it into the drink for a hint of citrus.

6

Optionally garnish with a lemon twist on the rim or a mint sprig. Serve immediately with a straw or stirring stick.
