Method

Prepare Drink

1

Chill glass and bottle

If possible, chill the can/bottle of Diet Coke and the serving glass in the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes beforehand for a colder, less diluted drink.

2

Fill a highball glass or other tall glass about three-quarters full with ice cubes (about 1 cup). Adding more ice will keep the drink colder but may dilute faster as it melts.

3

Open a chilled 12 oz can or pour from a chilled bottle of Diet Coke. Tilt the glass slightly and pour the Diet Coke down the inside of the glass to preserve carbonation and minimize foam.

4

If you like a hint of citrus, squeeze the optional lime wedge over the surface of the poured Diet Coke and drop the wedge into the glass.

5

Garnish with an optional lime wheel on the rim or a mint sprig for aroma. Serve immediately with a straw or stirring stirrer.
