Notes
Tips & Variations
- Keep the ratios right - the 2:1 Sprite to rum ratio is the best for optimal flavor. But you can certainly scale this recipe up by doubling or tripling each ingredient to make a big batch.
- Make just in time - making this in advance doesn't work well because the Sprite will go flat. So, this is better to not make in advance.
- Don't shake - with the amount of soda in this drink, you don't want to shake it to mix it. Instead use a bar spoon and stir it.
- Flavor options - try out a spiced rum, coconut rum or a different sprite. You can also use a lime garnish instead of a lemon.
