Instructions
- Fill two tall #[Glass (Large)] generously with @[Ice Cubes], leaving about an inch of space at the top.
- Pour 2 tablespoons of @[Grenadine] into each #[Glass (Large)] over the @[Ice]. The @[Grenadine] will sink to the bottom, creating a beautiful layered effect.
- Add 1/4 cup of chilled @[Orange Juice] to each #[Glass (Large)], followed by 1 cup of chilled @[Ginger Ale] poured slowly down the side of the #[Glass (Large)] to preserve the fizz. If using, add 1/2 tablespoon of @[Lemon Juice] per #[Glass (Large)] for extra brightness.
- Give each drink a very gentle stir with a bar spoon — just one or two slow turns from the bottom to lightly blend the @[Grenadine] without losing the carbonation.
- Garnish each #[Glass (Large)] with an @[Orange] half-moon slice on the rim and 1–2 @[Maraschino Cherries]. Add a straw or @[Cocktail Umbrella] if desired. Serve immediately.
