Ingredients

*per glass

  • 5 ounces lemon lime soda
  • 1 ounce vodka
  • ½ ounce grenadine
  • ice
  • cherries for garnish

Instructions

  • Fill a highball or huricane glass with ice or use a couple of mini ice balls.
  • Add the lemon-lime soda, followed by the vodka and the grenadine. Stir.
  • Garnish with cherry when serving.

Notes

  • If you prefer a stronger drink, then simply double your vodka amount to a total of 2 ounces.
  • Differentiating amounts of grenadine will play a huge part in the color, so do not be afraid to get your shade of red just right.
  • This recipe serves very well in a summer party punch bowl, especially if you fill the bowl with some cherries, lemons, and limes. This recipe makes 6.5 ounces - so adjust your ingredients based on the size of your punch bowl.
