Method
Prepare Glass & Ice
Discard chilling ice (if used) and fill the serving glass about three-quarters full with fresh ice.
Build Cocktail
Combine spirits and liqueurs
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add 45 ml white rum, 30 ml vodka, 15 ml blanco tequila, 20 ml elderflower liqueur, and 10 ml vanilla syrup.
Shake to combine
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 8–10 seconds to chill and slightly dilute the mix, ensuring the vanilla syrup integrates with the spirits and liqueur.
Strain into glass
Strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass over the fresh ice, leaving room for mixers (about 1–2 cm from the rim).
Finish & Garnish
Add juices and soda
Pour 60 ml cranberry juice over the strained spirits, then top with 90 ml chilled Sprite. Gently stir once or twice with a bar spoon to combine without flattening the soda.
Adjust acidity
Squeeze a lime wedge over the top to add brightness (optional) and drop the wedge into the drink if desired.
Garnish and serve
Garnish with an edible flower or a fresh mint sprig on the rim or floated on top. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
