"I'm going to show you how to make a drink called a Cruise Control. We're going to start off with our ice, pour this into your glass. And to that we are going to add one ounce of apricot brandy, just like so. Next we're going to add in one ounce of light rum. There we go. And one ounce of triple sec, and triple sec is an orange liqueur. There we go. Lastly, I'm going to put in just a splash of lime juice before I give this a good shake. There we go. Shake it up. And now I'm going to pour this into a highball glass. There we go. And I'm going to top this the rest of the way with club soda, which is going to make it really refreshing and effervescent. I'm going to go ahead and add in a stirry straw, just like so. And then I'm going to garnish this with a lime and cherry flag. And there you have it, a Cruise Control. Cheers."
