Steps
Fill a glass with ice.
Use a tall glass (like a highball or Collins glass).Pour the ginger ale and club soda over the ice.
(You can use all ginger ale or all lemon-lime soda if you prefer it sweeter.)Add grenadine.
Pour it slowly — it will sink to the bottom, creating a beautiful red-to-clear gradient.
How to make
Stir gently.
Mix just enough to blend the colors lightly.Garnish and serve.
Top with a maraschino cherry (or two!) and an orange slice or lime wedge.
🍒 Tips & Variations
For kids: Add a splash more grenadine for extra sweetness and color.
For adults: Turn it into a Dirty Shirley by adding 1.5 oz of vodka.
For flair: Use crushed ice and drizzle grenadine after serving for a layered “sunset” effect.
Try lemon juice or a splash of pineapple juice for a tropical twist.
