Method
For the drink (single serving)
Chill a highball glass (12–16 oz) in the refrigerator or freezer for a few minutes if desired.
Fill the chilled glass with ice cubes, leaving about 1/2–1 inch of space at the top.
Pour 12 fl oz of chilled cola slowly over the ice to minimize foaming.
If using, squeeze the quarter lime wedge over the top and drop it into the glass for a faint citrus note.
Garnish with a lemon slice on the rim and a maraschino cherry if desired.
Serve immediately with a straw or stirring spoon. Stir gently before sipping if the ice diluted the surface layer.
If making from syrup (fountain style)
Combine syrup and carbonated water
Measure 2 fl oz of cola syrup and pour it over the ice. Slowly add 10 fl oz of chilled carbonated water. Pour gently down the side of the glass or over a spoon to reduce foaming and preserve carbonation.
Adjust and garnish
Taste and adjust: if too sweet, add a splash more carbonated water; if too weak, add up to 0.5 fl oz more syrup. Optionally squeeze 1/4 lime wedge over the drink and drop it in. Garnish with a lemon slice if desired.
Serve
Serve immediately with a straw. Stir gently to combine before sipping if necessary.
