Ingredients

  • ice
  • 1 fluid ounce grenadine
  • 1 lime juice
  • 8 fluid ounces ginger ale
  • maraschino cherries optional garnish
  • lime wedges optional garnish

Instructions

  • Fill your chosen glass with ice – a favorite is a Collins glass or a tumbler.
  • Add 1 fluid ounce of grenadine to the glass over the ice.
  • Squeeze the juice from the lime into the glass.
  • Add 8 fluid ounces of ginger ale.
  • Decorate with maraschino cherries and slices of lime.

Notes

  • Rose’s Grenadine Syrup will be your best bet if these cocktails are for kids, as it has a very sugary sweet taste. If you are making this for adults with a more seasoned palate, there are other types of grenadine out there that you will find behind most bars – the ingredients are more complex using pomegranate juice.
  • The typical ratio for this classic cocktail is 1:8. If you are using a bigger glass, for example, a mason jar, double the recipe and retain the 1:8 ratio.
  • Add a pretty straw to your delicious drinks to add to the charm.
