Instructions

Fill a lowball glass with ice cubes.
Pour the Midori melon liqueur and clear rum over the ice.
Stir gently to combine.
Top off the mixture with lemon-lime soda.
Stir lightly to mix.
Garnish with a maraschino cherry to represent the Grinch’s heart.

Notes

For a less sweet version, substitute the lemon-lime soda with lemon-lime club soda.
If you prefer a fruitier twist, replace the rum with triple sec, a citrus-flavored liqueur.
To enhance the festive presentation, consider garnishing with a strawberry slice shaped like a heart or using red and white striped straws.
