Method

Beverage

  1. 1

    Chill and prepare glass

    If possible, chill the serving glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes beforehand. Otherwise, use a clean highball or Collins glass at room temperature.

  2. 2

    Add ice

    Fill the chilled glass with 5–6 fresh ice cubes, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space at the top.

  3. 3

    Pour Diet Coke

    Slowly pour 12 oz (about 355 ml) of cold Diet Cola over the ice. Pour gently down the side of the glass if you want less foam.

  4. 4

    Garnish and serve

    Squeeze the lime wedge once over the drink to release a small amount of juice, then drop the wedge into the glass. If using, place the lemon wedge or a sprig of mint on top for aroma. Serve immediately with a straw if desired.
