1
Chill and prepare glass
Place a highball or Collins glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes to chill (optional). Alternatively, fill the glass with ice to chill it and discard excess water before assembling the drink.
2
Add ice
Fill the chilled glass about three-quarters full with 6 ice cubes (adjust to preference). Using fresh, clear ice helps keep the drink cold longer without diluting flavor.
3
Pour Diet Coke
Slowly pour 12 oz of chilled Diet Coke over the ice. Pour gently against the inside of the glass or down a bar spoon to preserve carbonation and reduce foaming.
4
Garnish and serve
If desired, squeeze a lime wedge over the drink and drop it in, or float a lemon wheel on top. For a classic diner presentation, add a maraschino cherry. Serve immediately with a straw or long stirring spoon.
