Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240ml) lemon-lime soda (like Sprite or 7-Up)
- ½ cup (120ml) grenadine syrup
- ½ cup (120ml) orange juice or pineapple juice (optional, for extra flavor)
- Crushed ice
- Maraschino cherries (with stems)
For the Garnish:
- Whipped cream
- Coconut flakes (optional, for a snowy look)
Instructions
- Prepare the Glasses:
- Fill glasses with crushed ice.
- Mix the Drink:
- In a pitcher or directly in the glasses, mix the lemon-lime soda, grenadine syrup, and juice (if using). Stir gently to combine.
- Add the Santa Hat Garnish:
- Place a dollop of whipped cream on top of each maraschino cherry to resemble a Santa hat. You can add a sprinkle of coconut flakes for a snowy effect.
- Assemble and Serve:
- Top each drink with a “Santa hat” cherry garnish. Add a straw and serve immediately.
Notes
- For an extra-festive touch, dip the rim of each glass in grenadine and then in sugar crystals to create a frosty look.
- Substitute the soda with ginger ale for a spicier flavor.
- Use cranberry juice instead of grenadine for a more tart drink.
