Method

For one serving

  1. 1

    Chill glass

    If possible, chill your serving glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes to keep the drink colder longer.

  2. 2

    Fill the chilled glass with about 6 ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for the soda to avoid excessive foaming.

  3. 3

    Open a cold 12 fl oz can or bottle of Pepsi. Pour gently down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation and reduce foaming. Fill to about 1/2 inch (1 cm) from the rim.

  4. 4

    If desired, squeeze the lemon wedge lightly over the drink to release a drop or two of juice, then drop the wedge into the glass. Garnish with a mint sprig if using.

  5. 5

    Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer. Enjoy cold.

For larger batch (approx. 1 liter)

  1. 6

    Chill a pitcher in the refrigerator for 10–20 minutes if you want the batch colder and less likely to foam when poured.

  2. 7

    Fill the chilled pitcher with 8–12 ice cubes (adjust depending on desired dilution).

  3. 8

    Slowly pour 1 liter (1000 ml) of chilled Pepsi into the pitcher, pouring along the inside surface to minimize foaming.

  4. 9

    Add lemon slices and mint sprigs if desired for a light citrus/herbal aroma. Stir gently once to distribute; do not vigorously mix to preserve carbonation.

  5. 10

    Pour into glasses and serve immediately.
