Method
Prepare and assemble
Chill glass
Place the serving glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you gather ingredients to make the drink extra cold.
If using Mirinda and you want a brighter fresh-orange flavor, squeeze ½ fl oz (about 1 teaspoon) fresh orange juice. If using ginger ale and you prefer a slightly tart edge, use the fresh lime only. Measure fresh lime juice (½ fl oz) and optional simple syrup (¼ fl oz) if you like a sweeter drink.
Add ice
Fill the chilled glass about three-quarters full with ice cubes (roughly 1 cup).
Combine citrus and sweetener
Pour the fresh lime juice (½ fl oz) into the glass. If using Mirinda and you chose to add orange juice, add ½ fl oz of fresh orange juice. If you prefer a sweeter soda-forward drink, add ¼ fl oz simple syrup and stir gently to mix with the small amount of citrus.
Top with soda
Slowly pour 12 fl oz Mirinda (for an orange, citrusy soda) or 12 fl oz ginger ale (for a spicier, warming soda) down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation. Pour gently to avoid foaming over.
Taste and adjust
Taste the drink. If it needs more brightness, add a few drops more lime juice (to taste). If it needs more sweetness, stir in up to another ¼ fl oz simple syrup. Stir gently once to incorporate—avoid vigorous stirring to keep fizz.
