Method

Preparation

1

Chill and prepare

Ensure the 12 oz can of Coca-Cola is well chilled (ideally refrigerated for several hours). If using, chill the serving glass in the refrigerator or freezer for a few minutes to keep the drink colder longer.

2

Add ice (optional)

If desired, place 3–5 ice cubes into the highball glass. Note: adding ice will slightly dilute the drink as it melts.

3

Open the can

Hold the chilled 12 oz can upright on a stable surface. Pull the tab to open the can fully, keeping the opening pointed away from your face.

4

Pour

Tilt the glass slightly and pour the Coca-Cola gently into the glass to preserve carbonation and reduce foaming. Pour until the liquid reaches about 1 cm from the rim to avoid spills.

5

Garnish (optional)

If desired, squeeze a lemon or lime wedge lightly over the surface and drop it into the glass or hook it on the rim for garnish.

6

Serve

Place a cocktail stirrer or spoon in the glass if the guest prefers to stir. Serve immediately while cold to preserve carbonation and best flavor.
