Soda Recipe

Chill glass (optional)

Place the serving glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water for 1–2 minutes, then discard the water. This step is optional but enhances the drink's coldness and mouthfeel.

Add 6 ice cubes to a tall serving glass. Adjust number of cubes to preference.

Open a chilled 12 fl oz can or pour from a chilled bottle of Pepsi. Hold the glass at a slight angle (about 45 degrees) and slowly pour the Pepsi down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation and minimize foam.

Fill the glass, leaving about 1/2 inch (1 cm) of headspace to prevent overflow.

If using, run the lime wedge around the rim of the glass and drop the wedge into the drink, or squeeze slightly before dropping for a brighter citrus note.

Optionally slap the mint sprig between your palms to release aroma and tuck it into the glass as a fresh garnish.

Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer. Enjoy Pepsi proud.
