1
Chill and prepare glassware
If the Diet Dr. Pepper is not well chilled, place the can or bottle in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or add plenty of ice to the glass. Select a tall glass (12–16 oz).
2
Fill glass with ice
Add about 1 cup of ice cubes to the tall glass, leaving room at the top so the soda won't overflow when poured.

3
Open the chilled Diet Dr. Pepper can or bottle. Slowly pour 12 oz (one typical can) down the side of the glass over the ice to preserve carbonation and reduce foaming. Pour gently until the glass is about three-quarters full.
4
Give the drink one gentle stir with a bar spoon to integrate the cold from the ice without losing carbonation.

5
Optionally squeeze a lime wedge over the drink and drop the wedge into the glass for a bright citrus accent. If using, tuck a small mint sprig against the side as a garnish.
6
Serve immediately with a straw or napkin coaster to catch condensation.
