1
Chill glass (optional)
If desired, place a highball or Collins glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water for 2–3 minutes, then discard the water. Chilling keeps the drink fizzy longer.
2
Fill the chilled glass with about 1 cup of ice cubes. Use large clear cubes if available; they melt slower and preserve carbonation.
3
Run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass to impart a hint of citrus, then drop the wedge into the glass. If using, set a lime wheel or twist aside for garnish.

4
Open a chilled 12 fl oz bottle or can of Topo Chico carefully to preserve carbonation.
5
Tilt the glass slightly and slowly pour the Topo Chico down the side of the glass onto the ice to maintain as much effervescence as possible.
6
Give the drink one gentle stir with a bar spoon or straw (1–2 turns) to integrate the citrus from the lime wedge without flattening the bubbles.
7
Garnish with the lime wheel or twist on the rim if desired, taste, and add an extra squeeze of lime to taste for more brightness.
