- 1 tbsp fresh squeezed lime juice
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Measure out all liquids precisely: 6 oz lemon lime soda, 3 oz citron vodka, 3 oz black cherry rum, 1/2 tsp grenadine, and 1 tbsp fresh squeezed lime juice to ensure a balanced cocktail.
- Mix the Cocktail: In a cocktail shaker or large glass, combine citron vodka, black cherry rum, grenadine, and fresh lime juice. Stir or shake gently to blend the flavors without losing carbonation.
- Add Lemon Lime Soda: Pour in the lemon lime soda slowly to maintain its fizz and gently stir to mix evenly with the other ingredients.

Notes
- For a stronger cherry flavor, increase the grenadine slightly.
- Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best taste; bottled lime juice will alter the cocktail’s brightness.
- Adjust the rum or vodka quantity depending on your preferred strength.
- This recipe yields two servings; scale up accordingly for larger groups.
- Serving over ice will help keep the drink cool and refreshing longer.
