Coke & Service

12 1/2 oz Coca‑Cola (chilled)6 count Ice cubes1 count Lime wedge (optional)1 count Garnish mint sprig (optional)

Equipment

1 count 12.5 oz glass (chilled if possible)1 count Long bar spoon or stirrer1 count Measuring jigger or scale (optional)

Method

Prepare glass

Chill glass (optional)

If possible, place the 12.5 oz glass in the freezer for 10–20 minutes or fill it with ice water for 2–3 minutes, then empty. Chilling helps keep the drink colder longer.

If you chilled the glass with ice water, dump the water and dry the outside of the glass quickly while leaving a few ice cubes if desired.

Assemble drink

Add 4–6 ice cubes to the chilled glass. Leave room at the top so the Coke won’t overflow when poured.

Measure 12.5 oz (approximately 370 ml) of chilled Coca‑Cola. Pour it slowly down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation and reduce foaming.

If using, gently squeeze the lime wedge over the surface of the Coke to release a few drops of juice, then drop the wedge into the glass or serve on the rim.

Give the drink one gentle stir with a long spoon or stirrer — one to two slow strokes — just enough to integrate the lime if used. Avoid vigorous stirring to preserve bubbles.

Garnish with a mint sprig if desired, placed beside the lime wedge or on the rim.

Serve

Serve immediately while cold and fizzy. Provide a straw if requested.

If any Coke remains in a bottle or can after pouring, reseal and refrigerate promptly to maintain carbonation for a short time.
