Ingredients

  • 4 ounces ginger ale chilled
  • 1 ounce grenadine see note
  • Maraschino cherries for garnish
  • Small ice cubes
  • 4 ounces lemon-lime soda such as Sprite or 7UP, chilled

Instructions

  • Fill a glass with small ice cubes then pour the grenadine directly over the ice. Gently add the lemon-lime soda along with the ginger ale and stir softly to blend the flavors. Finish by adorning the drink with a maraschino cherry and savor immediately.

Notes

Grenadine is essentially sweetened pomegranate juice, functioning as a pomegranate syrup that’s entirely non-alcoholic and suitable for children. It’s commonly found in the liquor section or near club sodas in grocery stores and is typically sold in 12-ounce bottles. Once opened, it should be refrigerated and remains fresh for approximately four months.
