Chill and prepare
Place the diet cola in the refrigerator beforehand so it is well chilled (recommended 1–2 hours). If using a bottle or can straight from the fridge, proceed to step 2.
Add ice
Fill the highball or tall glass with about 6 ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for the liquid and garnish.
Pour cola
Measure and pour 12 fl oz (approximately 355 ml) of chilled diet cola gently into the glass over the ice to preserve carbonation.
Garnish and finish
Squeeze the fresh lime wedge over the drink if you prefer a citrus note, then drop the wedge into the glass. Optionally add a lime wheel on the rim or a mint sprig for aroma.
Serve immediately with a straw or spoon. For best taste keep the drink cold and enjoy within a few minutes to retain carbonation.
Tools
Use the measuring jigger or cup to portion the 12 fl oz accurately if desired. Use the spoon to stir gently if you added lime and want it evenly distributed.
