Method

Serving Soft Drinks

Chill beverage

Ensure the chosen beverage (Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, or soda water) has been refrigerated for at least 2–4 hours so it is well chilled before serving.

Prepare glass

Select a clean 12–16 oz glass. If desired, run the rim under cold water and place it briefly in the freezer for 2–3 minutes to make the glass extra cold (optional).

Add ice

Fill the glass with approximately 1 cup of fresh ice. Adjust quantity to personal preference or glass size.

Pour beverage

Open a 12 oz can or pour from a bottle of the chosen beverage. Pour slowly into the glass over the ice at a 45° angle to reduce foam (especially for Pepsi or Diet Pepsi). If serving soda water, pour more steadily to preserve carbonation.

Garnish (optional)

If desired, take one lemon or lime wedge and squeeze lightly over the top, then drop it into the glass or set on the rim.

Serve

Serve immediately with a straw or a stirrer. Provide a napkin or coaster as needed.
