Instructions
- Step 1: Fill glass with ice Fill the glass with either crushed or cubes of ice, depending on your preference.
- Step 2: Pour the cola Next, pour about the cola into the glass, leaving some room at the top.
- Step 3: Add grenadine and stir Add the grenadine, stirring well to disperse the syrup evenly.
