Being a teetotaler has never been tastier.
You Will Need
- An 8-ounce glass
- Ice
- 3 oz. lemon-lime soda
- 3 oz. ginger ale
- 2 to 3 tsp. grenadine syrup
- A stirrer
- A straw
- Maraschino cherries
Steps
-
Step 1
Fill glass with ice
Fill the beverage glass with either crushed or cubed ice, depending on your preference.
-
Step 2
Pour the soda and ale
Next, pour the soda and ginger ale into the glass, leaving some room at the top.
-
You can mix a simpler variety of this drink by doubling the lemon-lime soda content and skipping the ginger ale.
-
Step 3
Add grenadine and stir
Add the grenadine, stirring well to disperse the syrup evenly.
-
If you stir too forcefully, you’ll make the soda foamy and increase the amount of melted ice. Instead, stir slowly and smoothly.
-
Step 4
Add garnish and serve
Garnish with 1 or 2 (or 10!) maraschino cherries and serve with a straw. You might consider extra cherries to celebrate a child’s accomplishment!
