Method
Prepare Drink
Chill and fill glass
If the Diet Coke is not already cold, refrigerate the can or bottle until chilled. Fill the glass with 6 ice cubes to roughly three-quarters full. Cold glassware and ice keep the drink fizzy and refreshing.
Pour Diet Coke
Hold the bottle or can at an angle and pour 12 fl oz of chilled Diet Coke slowly down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation and avoid excessive foaming. Leave a small gap at the top to prevent overflow.
Garnish (optional)
If desired, squeeze the lime wedge gently over the drink to release a few drops of juice, then drop the wedge into the glass. Add a mint sprig as a fragrant garnish. Stir once gently with the spoon to distribute any lime flavor, taking care not to over-stir and lose carbonation.
Serve immediately while cold and bubbly.
Cleanup
Discard melted ice and rinse glass after finishing the drink. Return any unused unopened Diet Coke to the refrigerator for later use.
