Stir all ingredients along with several ice cubes in a glass. Fill a tumbler (old-fashioned glass) three-quarters full of crushed ice, and add the drink (the ice cubes remain in the glass used for stiring). Fill up with soda and add some dashes of dark rum if you like the aroma of it. Garnish with different fruits.

Whenever possible, use fresh squeezed orange and lemon juice. There´s at least 1 1/2 oz. (= 4,5 cl = 1 shot) of juice in every orange and at least 1 oz. (3 cl) in every lemon.
