Method
Preparation
- 1
Chill and prepare glass
Place a tall glass in the refrigerator or freezer for 5–10 minutes if you prefer an extra-cold drink. Meanwhile, ensure your can or bottle of Diet Coke is chilled (about 34–40°F / 1–4°C).
- 2
Add ice
Fill the chilled glass with approximately 1 cup of ice cubes, leaving about 1 inch (2–3 cm) of space at the top so the drink won't overflow when poured.
- 3
Pour Diet Coke
Open a 12 fl oz can (or measure 12 fl oz from a bottle). Pour the Diet Coke gently down the side of the glass over the ice to preserve carbonation and minimize foaming.

Garnish (optional)
If desired, squeeze a lime wedge lightly over the drink then drop it in for a citrus accent. Alternatively, slap a mint sprig between your palms to release aroma and tuck it into the glass.

Serve
Serve immediately with a straw or stirring spoon. If you used optional garnishes, stir once briefly before drinking to distribute any lime.
