1
Prepare glass
Select a chilled highball or Collins glass. If possible, place the glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes ahead of time to keep the drink colder longer.
2
Add ice
Fill the glass about three-quarters full with fresh ice cubes (approximately 1 cup). Leaving some headspace at the top helps preserve carbonation.
3
Pour Coke Zero
Open a 12 oz chilled bottle or can of Coke Zero. Pour gently down the side of the glass to minimize foaming and preserve carbonation until the glass is about three-quarters full.
4
Garnish (optional)
If desired, squeeze a lemon wedge over the drink and drop the wedge into the glass for a bright citrus accent. Alternatively or additionally, slap a mint sprig between your palms to release aroma and tuck it into the glass.
5
Stir and serve
Give the drink one gentle stir with a long spoon or stirrer to mix any garnish aromas without flattening the soda. Serve immediately while cold and fizzy.

6
Use the long spoon to stir once and present the glass with the garnish on the rim or inside the drink. If serving multiple, prepare each the same way just before serving to preserve effervescence.
