Drink

12 fl oz Diet Cola (chilled)1 cup Ice cubes1 piece Lime wedge (optional)1 sprig Fresh mint sprig (optional)

Equipment

1 piece Highball or Collins glass1 piece Long spoon or straw

Method

Prepare Serve

Chill glass (optional)

Place the glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it briefly with ice water, then discard the water. Chilling the glass keeps the drink colder longer but is optional.

Add ice

Fill the chilled (or room-temperature) glass about three-quarters full with ice cubes (approximately 1 cup). Use more or less ice to taste.

Pour Diet Cola

Hold the bottle or can close to the glass and slowly pour 12 fl oz of chilled Diet Cola over the ice to preserve carbonation. Pour gently down the side of the glass if you want less foam.

Garnish (optional)

If desired, squeeze the lime wedge lightly over the drink to release a few drops of juice, then drop the wedge into the glass. Add the mint sprig as a fragrant garnish by gently slapping it between your palms first to release oils.

Serve

Stir briefly with a long spoon or provide a straw. Serve immediately to enjoy maximum fizz and cold temperature.
