Method

Drink Base

1

Chill and prepare glass

If possible, chill the glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes beforehand. Alternatively, rinse the glass with cold water to cool it. Add 6 ice cubes to a tall glass.

2

Pour Diet Pepsi

Open a 12 fl oz bottle or can of Diet Pepsi. Pour gently into the prepared glass over the ice, aiming down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation and reduce foaming.

3

Allow the soda to settle for a few seconds to let any initial fizz calm before serving.

Optional Garnish & Variations

4

Add a lime wedge

Cut a fresh lime into wedges. Squeeze a wedge lightly over the drink to release a small amount of juice (optional), then drop the wedge into the glass or place it on the rim.

5

Mint garnish

Lightly clap a mint sprig between your palms to release aroma and place it on top of the ice as an aromatic garnish (optional).

6

Cherry garnish

Drop a maraschino cherry into the glass for a classic soda-shop look (optional).

7

Top-up or share

If using a larger glass or serving two, chill an additional 6 fl oz of Diet Pepsi and top up as needed.
