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.
