Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz lemon-lime soda
  • 3 tbsp cherry syrup
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp maraschino cherry juice
  • Crushed ice
  • 2 to 3 maraschino cherries
  • 1 lime wedge or slice

Method
 

  1. Combine the 3 tbsp cherry syrup, 1 tbsp maraschino cherry juice, and 2 tbsp fresh lime juice in a 20 to 24 oz glass and stir for 10 seconds until uniform.
  2. Fill the glass completely with crushed ice, pressing it down gently.
  3. Tilt the glass and pour the 16 oz lemon-lime soda slowly down the inside edge, then give it 2 gentle stirs from the bottom up.
  4. Drop in 2 to 3 maraschino cherries, set a lime wedge on the rim, and squeeze the lime over the top before serving.

Notes

This drink is best made to order. If you're serving a group, mix the syrup base in a small pitcher ahead of time and keep it in the fridge, then build each glass individually with fresh ice and soda. The ratio above fills a standard large fast-food cup; scale up using the table in the tips section.
