    You’ll want to cut your lemon or lime into wedges and then place one wedge on the rim of your highball glass.

    Step three

    Step four

    However, you can add as much or Little mountain dew as you like. The more mountain dew you add the more of its flavor it will be present in a cocktail. The less mountain dew you add the more gin you’ll be able to taste in your cocktail.
