Tips
- Pre-chill the glass so the ice-filled highball doesn't warm the soda top and flatten its fizz too quickly.
- Pour the lemon-lime soda gently down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation before garnishing.
- Use fresh lime juice, not bottled — it keeps the tartness bright against the watermelon liqueur's sweetness.
