Method

Prepare and assemble

1

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.

2

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.

3

Add ice

Fill the chilled glass about three-quarters full with ice cubes (roughly 1 cup).

4

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.

5

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.

6

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.

7

Garnish and serve

Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge. If you used Mirinda, add an orange slice for visual and aromatic effect. If you used ginger ale, slap a mint sprig between your palms to release aroma and tuck it into the glass. Serve immediately with a straw or sip directly.
