Ingredients

Liquids

  • 1.5 ounces Midori liqueur
  • 1 ounce clear rum
  • 5 ounces lemon-lime soda

Garnish

  • 1 maraschino cherry

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glass: Fill a lowball glass with ice cubes to chill the drink and keep it cold throughout the serving.
  2. Combine spirits: Pour 1.5 ounces of Midori liqueur and 1 ounce of clear rum into the glass over the ice, then stir gently to blend the flavors without diluting too quickly.
  3. Add soda: Top off the mixture with 5 ounces of lemon-lime soda to give the cocktail its fizzy zest and bright color, then stir gently again to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Garnish and serve: Finish the cocktail by placing a maraschino cherry on top for a festive look and a hint of sweetness, then serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

  • For a stronger cocktail, adjust the amount of rum to your preference.
  • Use chilled lemon-lime soda to maintain the drink’s refreshing temperature longer.
  • This cocktail is best enjoyed fresh for optimal fizz and flavor.
  • The vibrant green color comes from the Midori, making it a perfect holiday-themed drink, especially during Christmas.
