Drink

12 oz Diet Cola (chilled)6 pieces Ice cubes1 piece Fresh lime wedge1 piece Optional garnish: lemon slice

Barware / Tools

1 piece Highball or tall glass1 piece Bar spoon or long spoon1 piece Jigger or measuring cup

Method

Prepare Glass

Chill glass (optional)

If you prefer your Diet Coke extra cold, place the glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice and cold water for 1–2 minutes, then discard the water before assembling the drink.

Fill the glass with 5–6 ice cubes, leaving room at the top for the soda to be poured without overflowing.

Assemble Drink

Measure 12 oz (about one standard can or bottle serving) of chilled Diet Cola and slowly pour it down the side of the glass over the ice. Pouring gently preserves carbonation and reduces foaming.

Gently stir once with a bar spoon to integrate temperature and distribute the ice without flattening the soda.

Squeeze the lime wedge over the drink to release a light spray of juice (optional). Drop the squeezed wedge into the glass for extra aroma. Alternatively, use a lemon slice as garnish if preferred.

Serve

Serve immediately with a straw or without. Enjoy while cold for best flavor and carbonation.
