Method
Prepare and Serve
Chill glass and can/bottle
If possible, chill the glass and the can or bottle of Diet Coke in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Cold vessels keep the drink colder longer and reduce dilution from melting ice.
Fill glass with ice
Fill a highball or Collins glass about three-quarters full (roughly 1 cup) with fresh ice cubes.
Pour Diet Coke
Open a 12 fl oz can or pour from a chilled bottle and gently pour the Diet Coke over the ice. Pour slowly down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation and minimize foaming.
Add optional garnish
If using, squeeze a lime wedge lightly over the top (optional) and drop the wedge into the glass for a subtle citrus note.
Serve
Serve immediately with a straw or stirring spoon. If desired, offer extra lime wedges on the side.
