• She requested a glass of ice water but got lemonade instead.

• She requested a glass of ice water, but got lemonade instead.

• She requested a glass of ice water, but the server brought lemonade instead.

Answer explanation

You don't need to add a comma before the word "but" because it is not an independent clause. There is NOT a subject after the word "but" -- it's a phrase.

She requested a glass of ice water but got lemonade instead.

You wouldn't add a comma in the sentence below:

I want cookies and milk.
