1
Chill glass (optional)
If desired, place the glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes beforehand or fill it with ice for 1–2 minutes and discard to slightly chill the glass. This step is optional but helps the drink stay colder longer.
2
Add 6 ice cubes to the chilled glass, leaving room at the top for the soda.

3
Open a 12 oz can or pour 12 oz from a chilled bottle of Diet Coca‑Cola. Pour the soda gently over the ice to preserve carbonation.
4
Stir very gently once with a long spoon or straw to combine and distribute the cold without flattening the soda.

5
If using, squeeze the lime wedge lightly over the drink to release a few drops of juice, then drop the wedge into the glass.
6
Add the mint sprig as a garnish if desired. Serve immediately with a straw.
