Instructions
Chill the Glasses
Place two tall glasses in the freezer for 5 minutes or fill them with ice water and let sit while you prepare the other ingredients. A cold glass keeps the drink fizzy longer.
Add Ice
Discard the ice water if used to chill the glasses then fill each glass generously with fresh ice cubes. Pack the ice tightly so the drink stays cold throughout.
Pour the Grenadine
Add 1.5 tablespoons of grenadine syrup to each glass. The grenadine will sink to the bottom and create a beautiful layered look before stirring.
Top with Ginger Ale
Slowly pour one cup of cold ginger ale into each glass over the back of a spoon to protect the bubbles. Add a splash of fresh orange juice if desired for extra citrus flavor.
Garnish and Serve
Thread two maraschino cherries onto a cocktail pick and rest it across the top of each glass. Add an orange slice and lemon slice to the rim and insert a decorative straw. Serve immediately.
