My older daughter will be 4 in October, but she's a really precocious kid, and big for her age.

So, as I've been experimenting with various drinks, she asked if she could have one in a mug at one point.

I mixed 1 oz lime juice, 1 oz simple syrup, shook it over ice, and topped it off with seltzer.. slapped it in a big ole tiki glass, added two umbrellas, a Kona Kai swizzle stick, a slice of lime, and a straw, and her "Lime Fizzy" as she calls it was born.

Last night, we had cocktails on the patio after dinner.. I made the wife a pina colada with dark rum, I had a mai tai, and my daughter had her "lime fizzy".

She asked how it was made, and I explained it to her.. I said "here is how you order it.. one oz lime, one oz syrup, shaken, not stirred, over ice, and topped with seltzer."

She looked up at me, and said "AND SWIZZLED!" and proceeded to furiously stir her drink.

That's my girl..
