Ingredients

Scale

Drink Ingredients

  • 1 can (12 oz) cherry soda (like Cherry Coke or Cherry Dr. Pepper)
  • 2 tbsp maraschino cherry juice (from the jar)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup half-and-half
  • 1/2 cup crushed ice

Garnish

  • 1 maraschino cherry (for topping)
  • 1 lime wedge (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Add Crushed Ice to Glass: Place 1/2 cup crushed ice into a tall glass to create a cold base that helps everything mix properly.
  2. Pour in Cherry Soda: Slowly pour 1 can (12 oz) cherry soda over the ice. Allow it to fizz and settle for a moment.
  3. Add Maraschino Cherry Juice: Add 2 tablespoons of maraschino cherry juice for a rich cherry punch and extra sweetness.
  4. Add Fresh Lime Juice: Pour in 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice to balance the sweetness with a hint of acidity.
  5. Pour in Half-and-Half: Slowly add 1/4 cup of half-and-half. Watch it swirl and mix with the soda to create a frosty, creamy effect.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Top the drink with 1 maraschino cherry and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Insert a straw and serve immediately for best taste.

Notes

  • Use crushed ice for optimal texture and to ensure the drink stays cold.
  • You can substitute half-and-half with heavy cream or whole milk for a lighter or richer texture.
  • Adjust lime juice to taste if you prefer a more or less tart flavor.
  • For a vegan version, use a plant-based cream substitute instead of half-and-half.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the best fizz and creamy swirl effect.
