1
Chill (if needed)
If the can is not already chilled, place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or in an ice bath for 10–15 minutes until cold to the touch.
2
Prepare glass (optional)
If you prefer drinking from a glass, fill a tall glass with 4 ice cubes. This keeps the drink cold and maintains carbonation longer. If you prefer to drink from the can, skip this step.
3
Open can
Hold the can upright on a stable surface. Lift and pull the tab to open the can. Listen for the hiss that indicates carbonation — open gently if you suspect the can has been shaken.
4
Pour or drink
If using a glass, pour the Diet Coke slowly down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation and reduce foaming. If drinking from the can, bring the can to your lips and sip directly.
5
Garnish (optional)
If desired, squeeze a lemon wedge lightly over the top and drop it into the glass or hold it at the rim of the can. This adds a bright citrus note.
6
Enjoy your Diet Coke. Dispose of the empty can in a recycling bin.
