1
Chill and prepare glass
If possible, chill the glass in the refrigerator or freezer for 5–10 minutes to keep the drink colder longer. Meanwhile, ensure the Diet Coke is well chilled (ideally refrigerated for several hours).
2
Add ice
Place 6 ice cubes into a 12–16 oz highball or Collins glass. Adjust number of ice cubes to preference for dilution and temperature.
3
Pour Diet Coke
Open a 12 oz can or pour 12 oz (approx. 355 ml) of chilled Diet Coke into the glass over the ice. Pour gently down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation and reduce foaming.
4
Garnish (optional)
If desired, squeeze a lime wedge lightly over the surface to add a bright citrus note, then drop the wedge into the glass. Add a mint sprig for aroma if you like.
5
Serve
Serve immediately with a straw or stirring spoon. Sip and enjoy the crisp, sugar-free cola flavor.
