Method
Beverage
Add syrup
Measure 1 tablespoon of diet cola syrup and pour it directly over the ice in the glass. If using a commercial pre-mixed syrup concentrate, follow the manufacturer's recommended syrup-to-water ratio (this recipe assumes 1 tbs concentrate per 12 oz carbonated water).
Add carbonated water
Slowly pour 12 oz of chilled carbonated water over the back of a spoon or down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation and reduce foaming. Pour gently until the glass is filled and the syrup begins to mix with the water.
Mix
Give the drink one or two gentle stirs with a long spoon or straw to incorporate the syrup evenly without flattening the carbonation.
Garnish and serve
If desired, garnish with a fresh lime wedge or a lemon slice on the rim. Serve immediately while cold and fizzy.
