Soda (makes 1 serving)
Method
Soda (makes 1 serving)
- 1
Chill glass (optional)
If you prefer extra cold soda, place your serving glass in the freezer for 10–15 minutes before preparing.
- 2
Fill a tall serving glass about three-quarters full with ice cubes (approximately 6 medium cubes). Using fresh, not melted ice, helps keep the drink crisp and less diluted.
- 3
Open a chilled 12 fl oz can or pour from a chilled bottle of Coca‑Cola. Tilt the glass slightly and pour the Coca‑Cola slowly down the side to preserve carbonation and reduce foaming. Stop when the liquid reaches about 1⁄4 inch from the rim.
- 4
If desired, garnish with a lemon wedge on the rim or add a maraschino cherry. Squeeze the lemon wedge lightly into the drink for a subtle citrus note, then drop or serve on the rim.
- 5
Serve immediately with a straw or stirring spoon. Remind drinkers not to leave the glass in direct sunlight or a warm place to preserve carbonation and flavor.
