Ingredients
Ingredients
- ½ Tablespoon grenadine syrup
- ¾ cup lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite)
- ¼ cup vanilla-flavored coffee creamer
- Ice
- Maraschino cherries (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Fill a glass with ice cubes. For added color and flavor, optionally add a few maraschino cherries with the ice.
- Add Grenadine Syrup: Pour the ½ tablespoon of grenadine syrup into the glass over the ice as the first layer.
- Pour the Lemon-Lime Soda: Slowly add ¾ cup of lemon-lime soda such as Sprite over the grenadine and ice, allowing the layers to remain somewhat separate.
- Add Coffee Creamer: Slowly pour ¼ cup of vanilla-flavored coffee creamer directly onto the ice to create a creamy, fizzy effect.
- Garnish and Serve: Add a maraschino cherry on top for garnish if desired, and serve immediately to enjoy the freshest texture and flavor.
Notes
- For best results, use chilled soda and creamer so the drink stays cold longer.
- Adjust the amount of grenadine syrup to your preferred sweetness level.
- The coffee creamer adds creaminess but can be substituted with any flavored creamer or dairy substitute.
- This recipe serves one but can be easily doubled or tripled for more servings.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the contrasting layers before they fully mix.
