1 oz grenadine
Luxardo cherry

Notes

Ok, for a lower sugar drink, this is great! I got hooked on the zero sugar line starting with A&W Root Beer. I tried the ginger ale on a business trip and was equally impressed (or scared) by how much it tastes like real soda. I was concerned that the syrup and diet soda would clash somehow but not at all. (The zero Sugar Sunkist is great too.)

Shirley Temples are traditionally made with ginger ale, but 7-Up is a common alternative. You can also add lime, depending on the proportion of soda and syrup used, but this is an easy ratio to work with.
