- 1¼ cup Lemon lime soda
Instructions
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.

Notes
- If you do not have a cocktail shaker, you can use two glasses, one slightly smaller than the other.
- Pour the ingredients into the larger glass and place the open end of the smaller glass into the second. (I would recommend a plastic cup for the smaller cup.)
- Make sure to tap the top to ensure there is a seal. Shake lightly and remove the top cup.
- If the seal seems hard to break, tap the side of the glasses where the seal is formed.
- A third alternative for the shaker is to use a cup or jar that has a lid (such as a mason jar).
