Method

Drink

1

Chill and prepare glass

Place the Diet Coke bottle or can in the refrigerator in advance so the soda is well chilled (ideally 2–4 hours). When ready to serve, select a tall Collins or highball glass and fill it with 6 ice cubes.

2

Pour

Open the chilled Diet Coke carefully to preserve carbonation. Tilt the glass slightly and pour the Diet Coke slowly over the ice to reduce foaming. Pour until the glass is about 3/4 to full (approximately 12 fl oz depending on glass size).

3

Optional garnish and flavor

If desired, gently squeeze a lime wedge or lemon wedge over the top to release a few drops of juice, then drop the wedge into the glass. Optionally tuck a small mint sprig into the drink for aroma.

4

Serve

Serve immediately with a straw or stirring spoon if the guest prefers. Consume while cold to enjoy the characteristic crisp, refreshing flavor.
