1
Select glass
Choose a highball or Collins glass (about 10–12 oz capacity). Fill the glass about three-quarters full with ice cubes or crushed ice (approximately 1 cup).
2
If desired, run a lime wedge around the rim for aroma and a slight citrus note.

3
Pour 8 oz (about 1 cup) of chilled Sprite over the ice.
4
Add 1/2 oz grenadine by pouring it slowly down the inside of the glass so it sinks toward the bottom and creates a pink-to-clear gradient.
5
If using, add 1/4 oz fresh lime juice and give the drink a very gentle stir (1–2 turns) with a bar spoon to slightly integrate the grenadine while preserving the layered look.

6
Garnish with a lime wedge or wheel on the rim and drop in a maraschino cherry if desired.
7
Serve immediately with a straw. Note: encourage the drinker to stir before sipping if they prefer a uniform sweetness.
