Method
Prepare
- 1
Chill ingredients
Ensure the Diet Coke is well chilled (ideally refrigerated for several hours) so you get maximum fizziness and refreshment without diluting with extra ice.
- 2
If using a lime or lemon wedge, roll the citrus on the counter with your palm a few times to release juices and slice one wedge.
Assemble
- 3
Fill the highball glass about three-quarters full with ice cubes (about 1 cup).
- 4
Pour 12 oz of chilled Diet Coke slowly over the ice. Pouring slowly down the side of the glass helps preserve carbonation.
- 5
Gently stir once with the stirrer or spoon to settle ice and even temperature, taking care not to stir vigorously to avoid losing fizz.
- 6
Garnish with the lime or lemon wedge on the rim and a mint sprig if desired. Squeeze the wedge into the drink before dropping it in for added citrus aroma, if preferred.
