Variations and Add-ins

• Feel free to use raspberry lemonade or regular pink lemonade. You just want to make sure it’s a pretty shade of pink.

• If you’re not a fan of rum, you can swap it for vodka.

• For a tropical twist, you can add a little coconut cream. It works great with lemonade. If you add the cream, I’d suggest giving it a shake in a cocktail shaker.

• Swap the sprinkles and rim the glass with shredded coconut, tinted with a little red food coloring. Other optional garnishes could be a cute marshmallow peep and/or lemon wedges.

• This recipe has the perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess. If you prefer a sweet cocktail, just add a little simple syrup. For tangier drinks, just add more lemonade or a squeeze of lemon.

Instructions

Step 1. Dip the rim of the glass in simple syrup and place upside down in a small dish of sprinkles.

Step 2. Make sure the rum has a good coating of sprinkles.

Step 3. Fill your cocktail glass or a mason jar with ice to the top.

Step 4. Add the measured lemonade.

Step 5. Measure the rum and add to the lemonade.

Give it a gentle stir so as not to get the sprinkles wet.

Step 6: Add a fresh strawberry to the rim. Enjoy! 

Tips

Chilled glasses: To help keep your cocktail chilled longer, place the glasses in the freezer for about an hour before mixing.

Ice cubes: Instead of ice cubes, you can use frozen strawberries instead. You can also freeze some of the lemonade to make ice cubes.

Batch prep: If you’re hosting several guests, to save time, rim and garnish the glasses in advance. Then, all you have to do is add ice and the cocktail ingredients when they arrive.
