# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Takes five minutes from start to finish but looks impressive in any glass
  • The ginger ale adds a subtle warmth that pairs beautifully with the bright grenadine
  • Perfect for designated drivers kids or anyone wanting something festive without alcohol
02 -
  • The grenadine will sink to the bottom if you pour it directly into the center creating a layered effect
  • Stirring too much will mix the colors completely and you will lose that pretty ombré look
  • Diet sodas work fine but regular soda creates a more satisfying mouthfeel and fizz
03 -
  • Purchase grenadine from the cocktail aisle rather than the ice cream topping section for better flavor
  • Fresh lemon lime soda produces the most impressive fizz so check expiration dates
