Servings: 1 cocktail
Calories: 238kcal
Ingredients
- 1½ ounces vodka
- 5 ounces lemon-lime soda (or ginger ale)
- ¾ ounces grenadine syrup
- 1-3 maraschino cherries (garnish)
Instructions
- Fill your serving glass with ice.
- Measure and pour the vodka into the serving glass.
- Add the lemon-lime soda to the serving glass.
- Add the grenadine syrup to the serving glass. The syrup should sink down and self-mix into the other liquid, but give it a stir with a bar spoon or straw if you'd like.
- Add in the maraschino cherries, and serve.
Notes
- Too Sweet? If you find this drink to be too sweet, you can add in ½ ounce (or more) of fresh lemon juice to cut the sweetness a bit. You can also serve it with a lemon wedge in addition to the cherries, so the drinker can squeeze in the lemon based on their own preference.
