Drink

12 fl oz Diet Coke (chilled)6 pieces Ice cubes1 piece Lime wedge (optional)1 piece Lemon wedge (optional)

Glass garnish (optional)

1 piece Lime wheel or slice1 piece Cocktail stirrer or straw

Method

Prepare

Chill and prepare glass

Ensure the Diet Coke is well chilled in the refrigerator or an ice-filled cooler. Select a highball or Collins glass (or a can/bottle if serving straight) and set out a lime and lemon for optional garnish.

Add ice

Fill the glass with 6 ice cubes, leaving a little headspace at the top so the soda can be poured without overflowing.

Assemble

Pour 12 fl oz of chilled Diet Coke slowly into the glass over the ice. Pour gently down the side of the glass to maintain carbonation and reduce foaming.

If using, squeeze the lime wedge briefly over the top of the drink to add a hint of citrus, then drop the wedge into the glass. Alternatively, use the lemon wedge for a slightly different citrus note.

Stir gently with a cocktail stirrer or straw once to distribute the citrus if added. Avoid vigorous stirring to preserve carbonation.

Garnish & Serve

Garnish the rim of the glass with a lime wheel or place it on the drink. Serve immediately while cold and fizzy.
