Things You'll Need

  • Crystal Light lemonade
  • 2-quart pitcher
  • Sprite Zero
  • Clear or light rum
  • Ice cubes
  • Straw
  • Fluid-ounce measuring cup
  • Cocktail glass (16 ounces)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crystal Light lemonade in a 2-quart pitcher. Store the lemonade, rum and Sprite Zero in a refrigerator for 24 hours before preparing the cocktail. Chilling the liquids keeps the ice from melting quickly.

  2. Fill the cocktail glass 1/2 full with ice. Measure 1 1/2 ounces of rum into the glass. Add 6 ounces of lemonade and mix well with the rum.

  3. Add 6 ounces of Sprite Zero and stir. Add a straw and enjoy.
