Soda Options
Select beverage
Choose one soda or Vitamin Water from the listed options (Coke, Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Sprite, Sprite Zero, Ginger Ale, or Vitamin Water). The recipe yields one standard serving (about 1 cup).
If using a bottled or canned soda, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 1–2 hours prior to serving for best taste. If using a fountain machine, confirm the selected flavor is available and functioning.
Serving Extras
Fill a tall glass with about 6 ice cubes (adjust to preference). For very cold service, use crushed ice or chill the glass in the freezer for 10–15 minutes prior to serving.
Open the soda can or bottle. If using a fountain dispenser, position the glass beneath the nozzle.
Pour the soda over the ice gently to preserve carbonation. For canned/bottled soda, pour at a slight angle to reduce foaming. Fill to desired level (typically 10–12 fl oz / ~1 cup in this recipe).
Serve immediately to maintain carbonation and offer free refills as noted in the menu description.
