Before you start, take out all your ingredients and tools. This will make everything easier.

Start by putting your tall glass in the freezer to chill. This takes about 5 minutes and will make your drink extra cold and refreshing.

While your glass is chilling, cut a fresh lime in half and squeeze out the juice. You need about half an ounce (that's one good squeeze from half a lime).

If you want to make it extra fancy, you can rim your glass with green sugar. Just rub a lime wedge around the rim and dip it in green sugar.

Fill your cocktail shaker with ice - about ¾ full is perfect.

Pour in 2 ounces of vodka (that's about 2 shot glasses).

Add 1 ounce of Midori (1 shot glass).

Pour in your fresh lime juice (half a shot glass).

Add half an ounce of triple sec (half a shot glass).

Put the lid on your shaker tightly and shake it well for about 15 seconds - until the shaker feels really cold in your hands.

Take your glass out of the freezer and fill it with fresh ice.

Strain your cocktail from the shaker into your cold glass.

Top it off with about 2 ounces of Sprite or 7UP (2 shot glasses).

Give it a gentle stir with your spoon - just a few turns to mix everything.

For the final touch, add a slice of lime and a cherry on top.
