Ingredients
1 cup lemon-lime soda
2 tablespoons grenadine
1 tablespoon maraschino cherry juice
1 tablespoon half-and-half
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1 cup ice
2 maraschino cherries
1 lime wedge
Instructions
1. Fill a tall glass with ice.
2. Pour the grenadine into the bottom of the glass.
3. Add the maraschino cherry juice and fresh lime juice.
4. Slowly pour in the lemon-lime soda.
5. Drizzle the half-and-half over the top and let it swirl through the drink.
6. Garnish with maraschino cherries and a lime wedge.
7. Serve immediately and stir gently before drinking.
Notes
For a richer drink, use heavy cream instead of half-and-half.
For a dairy-free version, use coconut cream or oat creamer.
Add the soda right before serving so the drink stays bubbly.
