1
Chill glass (optional)
If desired, place the glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes prior to serving to keep the drink colder longer.
2
Remove the chilled glass from the freezer. Add 6 ice cubes to the glass, filling roughly half to two-thirds full depending on cube size.

3
Open a 12 fl oz can or pour 12 fl oz from a bottle of chilled Diet cola slowly down the side of the glass over the ice to preserve carbonation and minimize foaming.
4
Give the drink one gentle stir with a stirrer or straw to integrate the ice and cola without knocking out too much fizz.

5
If using, run the lime wedge around the rim of the glass and drop the wedge into the drink or place it on the rim. Optionally add a maraschino cherry for a touch of color.
6
Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer to maintain carbonation and enjoy.
