Notes
- To make simple syrup, heat equal parts of sugar and water in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves. Let it cool before using.
- For a better taste, use freshly squeezed orange juice. Avoid store-bought orange juice, as it may contain added sugars and preservatives.
- Adjust the amount of sugar and club soda to your liking. If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, add more sweet syrup. If you prefer a lighter cocktail, add more club soda.
- To make a non-alcoholic version, omit the rum and increase the amount of orange juice and club soda.
