How to make a Funk and Soul

To make a Funk and Soul, build over ice in a highball glass: 3 oz rum, 1½ oz apricot nectar, 1½ oz pomegranate juice, ¾ oz lemon and soda water.

You'll need

1 drink

Instructions

  1. 1

    Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.

  2. 2

    Pour in rum, apricot nectar, pomegranate juice and lemon juice.

  3. 3

    Top with soda water.

  4. 4

    Give it one gentle stir.

Why build it in the glass? Nothing here needs shaking, and pouring straight in keeps the soda water fizzy.
