Method

Drink

1

Prepare Glass

Select a highball or tall glass and fill it with 6 standard ice cubes (or enough to chill the drink to your preference).

2

Pour Diet Coke

Open a chilled 12 oz can or bottle of Diet Coke. Pour it gently into the prepared glass over the ice, tilting the glass slightly to reduce foam and preserve carbonation.

3

Garnish and Serve

If desired, squeeze a lime wedge lightly over the drink and drop the wedge into the glass. Optionally add a mint sprig for aroma. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.

Optional Add-ins

4

Add Fresh Lime Juice

If using fresh lime juice for extra brightness, add 1/2 tsp to the glass after pouring Diet Coke and stir gently once to combine.

5

Add Flavored Syrup

For a flavored variation (e.g., cherry or vanilla), add 1/2 tsp of syrup to the glass after pouring and stir gently to incorporate. Taste and adjust up to 1 tsp if desired.

6

Mint Aroma

Lightly clap the mint sprig between your palms to release aroma and drop it into the glass or rest it on the rim as a garnish.
