Ingredients
- ½ oz Rum
- ½ oz Vodka
- ½ oz Tequila
- ½ oz Whiskey
- Lemon-lime soda, to fill
- Lime wedge or slice, for garnish
- Ice
Instructions
1. Prepare the Glass
Fill a tall glass (like a highball or Collins glass) with ice cubes.
2. Add the Spirits
Pour in:
- ½ oz rum
- ½ oz vodka
- ½ oz tequila
- ½ oz whiskey
Let the chill from the ice begin to blend the flavors.
3. Top It Off
Fill the glass to the top with lemon-lime soda for a crisp, bubbly finish.
4. Garnish & Serve
Add a lime wedge or slice on the rim or drop it in the glass for a pop of citrus. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Strong and smooth: Despite the mix of liquors, this drink balances out thanks to the soda’s sweetness.
- Want it a little softer? Use 3/4 oz total spirits instead of 2 oz.
- Serve it with a straw and a stirrer—some like to blend it, some love it layered.
Helpful Tips
- Use high-quality spirits for a smoother, more sippable finish.
- Chill your soda beforehand to maintain fizz and minimize dilution.
- Add a splash of sour mix or fresh lime juice for a sharper citrus edge.
Conservation and Storage
- Not recommended for storage—best served fresh.
- If needed, you can pre-mix the spirits and store in the fridge for up to 1 day. Add soda just before serving to keep it fizzy.
Substitutions and Variations
- Swap whiskey for gin for a lighter profile.
- Make it spicy by adding a slice of jalapeño or a dash of hot honey.
- Try club soda + simple syrup + lime juice for a sugar-controlled version.
Storage Instructions
- Pre-mix liquors only and store chilled.
- Add lemon-lime soda and ice fresh when ready to serve.
- Do not store with soda—it will go flat quickly.
