Diet Coke

What is it?

Syrup and carbonated water come together at the fountain, then get poured over ice in a plastic cup. It's the sugar-free cola option, served as a chilled soft drink rather than in a bottle or can. Compared with the full-sugar version, it leans lighter and crisper, with a cleaner finish and more pronounced fizz. Relative to the zero-sugar alternative on the same menu, it's built around the older flavour profile, which reads as less sweet and a little more distinct on the palate. Ice-cold straight from the dispenser, it's usually ordered as part of a meal deal or on its own as a quick drink. Carbonation stays strong while the ice holds, though it flattens fairly quickly once the ice melts down.
