here's a fun fact for y'all

i'm quite possibly the first person in the world ever to start serving coke with lemon

it was way before the internet, early '90s i think and i was working in a bar in Austin, TX
don't really recall how it happened, just pure stroke of genius mixed with luck i think

we started serving coke with lemon and called it artisan coke, it was just a regular coke but with a slice of lemon in it and we would sell it for $2/bottle while regular coke was going for $1/bottle

you can't make this shit up

The lemon flavor really adds an extra zing the coke needs to not feel like a can of syrup.

OK guys what if
Ok

what if we sliced lemons
froze them

Eliminating the need for ice entirely

free 2nd idea: Add a spritz of rum or Vodka to unlock the alchohol soluble flavours in the lemon

Nice. Maybe the ice cubes could be made of lemon juice with some zest in them, though? I hate it when people throw lemon slices in things without squeezing the lemon. It never tastes like you added lemon until you're on your last quarter of the drink.

If you know the ice will melt quickly, you could dilute the lemon juice with more coke.

>>7951449
Because making ice cubes out of valid mixers instead of water has been a thing for ages. You know, like frozen fruit for sangria.
