Cold Coca‑Cola (single serving)

If making from concentrate style (homemade flavored soda, optional)

Method

Cold Coca‑Cola (single serving)

1

Chill glass (optional)

Place a highball or pint glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill with ice water while preparing to get the glass cold.

2

Fill the chilled glass with 6 ice cubes (adjust to preference).

3

Open a 12 fl oz bottle or can of chilled Coca‑Cola and pour slowly over the ice to preserve carbonation.

4

Serve with an optional lemon or lime wedge on the rim. Squeeze the wedge into the drink if desired for a citrus note.

If making from concentrate style (homemade flavored soda, optional)

5

Chill a glass and the carbonated water so the finished drink stays fizzy longer.

6

Fill the glass with 6 ice cubes.

7

Measure 1.5 tablespoons cola syrup or concentrate and pour it into the glass.

8

Slowly add 12 fl oz chilled carbonated water to the glass, pouring down the side to reduce foaming and preserve carbonation.

9

Gently stir once with a bar spoon to combine—do not over-stir to avoid losing bubbles.

10

Garnish with an optional lemon or lime wedge and squeeze if desired. Serve immediately.
