Instructions
In a cocktail shaker, pour in light rum, orange liqueur, simple syrup and fresh lemon juice. Put the cover on and shake vigorously until ice crushes a bit inside and liquid is completely chilled through.
Strain into a chilled martini glass and top off with a light splash of sparkling water. Use lemon-flavored sparkling water, if available. Garnish with a lemon slice.
