Method
Prepare Glass
Chill and add ice
Chill a tall glass by placing it in the freezer for a few minutes or filling it with ice and water for 1 minute, then discard the water. Add approximately 1 cup of fresh ice to the glass so it is about 3/4 full.
Mix Drink
Measure and add 0.5 oz fresh lime juice to the glass over the ice. If you prefer a slightly sweeter drink (particularly with Pure Zero), add 0.25 oz simple syrup.
Open a 12 fl oz can of Rockstar (Original, Pure Zero, or Punched) and slowly pour it into the glass over the back of a spoon or down the side to preserve carbonation.
Using a stirrer or bar spoon, gently stir the drink 4–6 times to evenly combine the lime juice (and simple syrup if used) with the energy drink without flattening it.
Garnish & Serve
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim and optionally tuck a mint sprig alongside the ice for aroma.
Serve immediately with a straw. Note: consume responsibly and do not mix with alcohol unless following legal and health guidelines.
