Equipment

tall glass
mixing spoon

Ingredients

1 cup ginger ale or lemon-lime soda
1-2 tbsp grenadine syrup
1 maraschino cherry
1 cup ice cubes
1 tsp fresh lime juice (optional)

Instructions

Fill a tall glass with ice cubes to keep the drink cold and refreshing.
Pour ginger ale or lemon-lime soda into the glass, filling about three-quarters full.
Slowly add grenadine syrup, allowing it to sink slightly and create a layered effect.
Stir gently to combine the flavors without losing carbonation.
Garnish with a maraschino cherry and optionally a lime slice, then serve immediately.

Notes

Use chilled soda to keep the drink fizzy and refreshing. Avoid over-stirring to preserve carbonation. Adjust grenadine to control sweetness, and add a splash of lime juice for a slightly tangy balance.
