Rum Punch
Ingredients (gallon pitcher/single serving):

- 1 cup/1/2 oz peach schnapps
- Sprite
Directions:
- For a single serving:
- Combine ingredients together with ice in a shaker
- Shake, then strain into a glass with fresh ice

- For a gallon pitcher
- Combine ingredients in a pitcher and stir
- Fill remaining space in the pitcher with sprite or top the glasses individually. You'll want about 1/3 of the glass to be sprite
NOTE: If making in a pitcher - do not put ice in the pitcher. The ice will take up space that would otherwise be filled by Sprite, so the drink will be much stronger and not have enough fizz. Mix and chill in the fridge (without ice), then pour into glasses filled with ice.
