Main Ingredients
- Ice (as needed)
- 1 fresh mint leaf
- 7.5 ounces soda (such as A&W Root Beer, 7UP, or Sunkist® Soda)
- ½ ounce grenadine syrup
- 2 lime wedges (each wedge cut into sixths, juice extracted)
Garnishes
- Sprig of fresh mint
- Maraschino cherry
- Lime wedge
Instructions
- Fill the glass: Begin by filling a large glass halfway with ice cubes to chill the drink properly and keep it refreshing.
- Prepare the glass rim: Rub the rim of the glass gently with a fresh mint leaf to impart a subtle minty aroma as you sip.
- Mix the drink: Pour in 7.5 ounces of your choice of soda, add half an ounce of grenadine syrup, and squeeze the juice from two lime wedges. Stir the mixture well using a bar spoon to blend all flavors evenly.
- Garnish and serve: Finally, garnish the drink with a sprig of mint, a lime wedge, and a bright maraschino cherry to enhance both presentation and flavor before serving.
Notes
- You can use any clear soda like 7UP or Sunkist for a citrusy flavor, or root beer for a richer taste profile.
- Adjust grenadine quantity according to your preference for sweetness.
- For extra fizz, add soda just before serving to avoid losing carbonation.
- This mocktail is versatile and alcohol-free, suitable for all ages and occasions.
