Diet Coke Cocktail (single serving)

Method

Diet Coke Cocktail (single serving)

1

Chill glass (optional)

If you prefer an extra-cold drink, place the highball glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes before preparing.

2

Fill the highball glass with approximately 1 cup of ice cubes. Pack the ice so the liquid will stay cold without overflowing.

3

Open a 12 fl oz can or bottle of Diet Coke. Pour the Diet Coke slowly into the glass over the ice to preserve carbonation and minimize foaming.

4

If using fresh lime, cut a quarter of the lime and squeeze the juice into the glass (about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon) to add a bright citrus note. Stir gently once with a bar spoon or straw to combine.

5

Garnish the rim of the glass with a lime wedge or float a lime wheel on top if desired.

6

Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer. Replace cap on bottle or can and refrigerate any remaining Diet Coke for up to 24–48 hours for best carbonation retention.
