Soda

Garnish (optional)

Method

Prepare glass

1

Chill glass (optional)

If desired, place the serving glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes before serving to keep the soda colder longer.

2

Add 4 ice cubes to a standard 8–12 oz (about 1 cup fill) serving glass.

Pour soda

3

Open a chilled bottle or can of your chosen diet soda (Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Coke Light or Diet Sprite).

4

Slowly pour 1 cup (about 240 ml) of soda into the glass over the ice. Pour gently down the side of the glass to limit excessive foaming.

Garnish & serve

5

Optional: Squeeze the juice of the lime or lemon wedge into the soda, then drop the wedge into the glass for extra flavor (recommended with Diet Sprite or cola).

6

Optional: Slap a mint sprig between your palms to release aroma and place on top as a garnish.

7

Serve immediately while the soda is fizzy and cold.
