Base

1 bottle Bottled Coca-Cola (preferably Mexican Coke made with cane sugar)1 cup Ice cubes

Garnish & Flavor (optional but traditional)

1/4 unit Fresh lime1 unit Lime wedge (extra for serving)1/4 tsp Coarse salt (for glass rim, optional)

Equipment

1 unit Tall serving glass (12–16 oz)1 unit Bar spoon or long spoon1 set Cutting board and knife

Method

Prepare Glass and Garnish

Chill glass (optional)

Place the serving glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes before serving to keep the drink extra cold.

If using a salted rim, run the cut edge of the quartered lime around the top rim of the glass, then dip the rim into a small plate with the coarse salt so it adheres evenly. Tap off any excess salt.

Cut one lime wedge for serving and set aside.

Assemble Drink

Fill the chilled (or regular) serving glass with 1 cup of ice cubes, leaving a bit of room at the top.

Open one bottle of Mexican Coca-Cola (glass bottle preferred). Pour slowly down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation and minimize foaming. Fill to about 1 cm (1/2 inch) below the rim.

Gently stir once with a bar spoon to integrate the cold without losing too much fizz.

Squeeze the cut edge of the fresh lime once over the top of the drink to add a hint of fresh citrus, then drop the squeezed wedge into the glass or place the reserved wedge on the rim for garnish.

Serve

Serve immediately while the drink is cold and carbonated. Provide a straw if desired.

Optional: Offer additional lime wedges and a small dish of salt on the side for guests who want more seasoning or citrus.
