Drink base

Ice

Garnish (optional)

Glassware & extras

Method

Prepare glass

1

Chill glass (optional)

If desired, place the glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes beforehand to make the drink colder longer.

2

Remove chilled glass from freezer or select a room‑temperature glass. Hold the glass by the base or rim to avoid warming it with your hands.

Assemble drink

3

Fill the glass about three‑quarters full with ice cubes (≈1 cup). Adjust ice amount to your preference for dilution and temperature.

4

Pour 12 fl oz (one standard can) of chilled Coca‑Cola or Diet Coke slowly over the ice. Pouring over the ice reduces foam and preserves carbonation.

5

If excessive foaming occurs, pause and allow foam to settle before finishing the pour. Do not shake the bottle or can immediately before opening to avoid overflow.

Garnish and serve

6

Optional: Express a lemon or lime wedge over the drink by squeezing briefly to release oils and juice, then drop the wedge into the glass or serve on the rim.

7

Optional: Add a mint sprig to the rim (lightly clap the mint between your palms first to release aroma).

8

Serve immediately with an optional straw. Enjoy chilled.
