Method
Prepare Glass
Chill
Chill a tall glass in the refrigerator for 5–10 minutes or fill the glass with ice to cool it quickly, then discard the initial ice if you prefer a less-diluted drink.
Add ice cubes to the glass (about 6 standard cubes) leaving space at the top for liquid and garnish.
Mix Soda
Measure 12 fl oz of well-chilled carbonated water (soda water). Pour it slowly into the prepared glass over the ice to retain carbonation.
Add 1/2 fl oz of cola-flavored diet syrup to the carbonated water. Pour the syrup gently down the side of the glass to minimize foam and preserve fizz.
Stir gently once with a long spoon or stirrer, turning the spoon end-to-end 3–4 times to evenly distribute the syrup without flattening the carbonation.
Taste and, if needed, add 1–2 drops of liquid sweetener (sucralose) to reach desired sweetness. Stir gently once more. Note: many diet cola syrups are formulated to the correct sweetness and will not need extra sweetener.
