Ingredients

  • 7 ounces lemon-lime soda mini can
  • 2 tablespoons maraschino syrup
  • ½ ounce lime juice
  • 1 wedge lime
  • 1 maraschino cherry
  • 2 cups ice pebble ice

Instructions

  • Fill a glass with ice.
  • Pour maraschino syrup over the ice.
  • Squeeze lemon juice over the ice.
  • Top off with a mini can of lemon-lime soda. Garnish with a cherry and lime wedge. Serve with a straw and enjoy!

Notes

  • To create a less sweet version, use club soda instead of sweetened lemon-lime soda. Or if you want to be even more sneaky, use half and half—this is what I typically do for my children’s drinks.
  • Bright red maraschino cherries are a must!
  • Pebble ice (also called nugget ice) is the best ice for this drink. I get mine in a bag from Sonic and keep it in my freezer for up to a week at a time.
