Ingredients
- 1.5 ounces Midori liqueur
- 1 ounce clear rum
- 5 ounces lemon-lime soda
- 1 maraschino cherry (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the glass: Fill a lowball glass with ice to chill and prepare it for the cocktail.
- Add spirits: Pour 1.5 ounces of Midori liqueur and 1 ounce of clear rum into the glass. Stir gently to combine the flavors evenly without diluting the drink too much.
- Add soda: Carefully pour in 5 ounces of lemon-lime soda. Stir gently once again to mix, taking care not to stir too vigorously so the carbonation remains intact.
- Garnish and serve: Place a maraschino cherry on top as a festive garnish. Serve the cocktail immediately while chilled and fizzy.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute Midori with melon syrup and omit the rum.
- Use chilled lemon-lime soda for best results and to keep the drink cold longer.
- Stir gently after adding soda to preserve carbonation and maintain fizz.
- The cocktail is best served immediately after preparation.
