1
Chill glass (optional)
If you prefer a colder drink, place the glass in the refrigerator or freezer for 5–10 minutes before serving.
2
Fill the serving glass about three-quarters full with ice cubes (about 6 medium cubes). Adjust ice amount to preference.
3
Open the can or bottle of Coca-Cola (regular), Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, or Diet Coke, making sure it is well chilled to preserve carbonation.
4
Pour 12 fl oz (approx. one standard can) of the chosen cola gently into the glass over the ice to minimize excessive foaming.
5
If desired, squeeze a lime or lemon wedge lightly over the drink and drop the wedge into the glass as a garnish. Stir gently once with a spoon or straw to combine.
6
Serve immediately to retain carbonation. Provide a straw if desired.

7
For a taller serving, use a 16 fl oz glass and two 8 fl oz pours or a 20 fl oz bottle; adjust ice accordingly.
8
To reduce dilution, use fewer ice cubes or large ice cubes. For extra fizz, pour the cola down the side of the glass rather than directly onto the ice.
9
For an off-menu twist, add a splash (15–30 ml) of lime juice, whiskey, or rum per taste (note: these additions are not included in the ingredient list above).
