Prepare Glass
Select a tall glass (12–16 oz capacity). Fill the glass with about 6 ice cubes to chill the glass and keep the drink cold.

Add Optional Flavor
If using lime, cut half a lime and squeeze the juice of half a lime (about 0.5 fruit) into the glass over the ice. If using flavored syrup, add 1/2 teaspoon of the syrup now. If using fresh mint, lightly clap 3 mint leaves between your palms to release aroma and drop them into the glass.

Pour Diet Coke
Open a chilled 12 oz can or bottle of Diet Coke and gently pour it down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation. Stop pouring when the liquid reaches about 1/2 inch (1 cm) below the rim to avoid overflow from fizz.

If you added mint or syrup, give the drink a gentle stir (1–2 rotations) with a straw or spoon to incorporate the flavors without flattening the soda.
