Ingredients:

  • 4 oz (120 ml) Ginger Ale or Lemon-Lime Soda (Sprite or 7-Up), chilled
  • 1 oz (30 ml) Grenadine Syrup
  • 2-3 Maraschino Cherries, with a little juice
  • Ice cubes

Instructions:

  1. Fill the tall glass with ice cubes.
  2. Gently pour the ginger ale (or lemon-lime soda) over the ice, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
  3. Slowly pour the grenadine syrup into the glass. This will sink to the bottom and create a pretty layered effect if you're careful.
  4. If you want a more uniform color, gently stir the drink with a cocktail spoon.
  5. Add the maraschino cherries. Drizzle a tiny bit of the cherry juice over the top if you're feeling fancy. Serve immediately and enjoy!
