Equipment

  • Shot Glass
  • Cocktail Spoon

Ingredients

  • 1 ounce Midori
  • 1 ounce rum light rum
  • lemon-lime soda
  • ice

Instructions

  • Fill a lowball glass about halfway with ice.
  • Pour in Midori and rum, then give it a light stir.
  • Top with lemon-lime soda, as much as you like.

Notes

  • Stirred: We mix this right in the glass, but you can lightly shake it in a cocktail shaker with ice for a crisp, well-blended texture. Add the soda after pouring so it stays bubbly.
  • Glass: Serve it in a martini glass, coupe, lowball or a fun holiday-themed tumbler for extra festive flair.
  • Garnish: Add a maraschino cherry to mimic the Grinch’s heart, or use holiday-shaped ice cubes to dress things up.
  • Make It in Batches: Multiply the quantities for a punch bowl or pitcher for easy serving, and hold off on the soda until each pour has been served.
  • Make It a Mocktail: Swap the Midori for a melon-flavored syrup and the white rum for a non-alcoholic version, then top with lemon-lime soda.
  • Make it Festive:Dip the rim of your glass in simple syrup and then red sanding sugar before mixing your drink.
