Diet coke.
Mod 1: cherry syrup
Mod 2: lime
Mod 3: easy on the ice
Mod 4: tall glass
Coke usually comes in a tall glass anyway. If easy ice is deemed a modifier, I don't know what to say - I don't know a single bartender that would struggle with this or be surprised by it.
Regardless, this post summarizes why American has ...... standards. Qatar can make me a martini in the air, but it's too much to ask for a tall glass and easy ice because it's a "drink modifier".
