Beverage
- 1
Chill and prepare glass
If you prefer an extra-cold drink, place the serving glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes beforehand. Otherwise, select a clean highball or Collins glass.
- 2
Add ice
Fill the chilled glass with 4–6 ice cubes, leaving room at the top for the soda. Use more or fewer cubes to control dilution and temperature.
- 3
Pour Diet Coke
Open a 12 oz can or pour 12 oz from a bottle of chilled Diet Coke. Tilt the glass slightly and pour slowly down the side to preserve carbonation and reduce foaming.

Garnish and serve
Optional: squeeze the lime wedge over the soda and drop it in for a bright citrus note. Add a mint sprig for aroma if desired. Serve immediately with a straw or stirring spoon.
