Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups Cherry 7 Up
  • 1/4 cup Grenadine
  • 2 cups 7 Up
  • 2 cups Blue Gatorade or Powerade
  • ice
  • 4 maraschino cherries

Instructions

  • Pour about 3 TBS of Cherry 7 Up into the bottom of each of the glasses, to fill them just a little bit of the way.
  • Add 1 TBS of Grenadine to each cup, and stir it into the Cherry 7 Up
  • Fill each of your glasses to the top with ice.
  • Grab a metal spoon and pour the 7 Up very slowly over the back of the spoon as it drips down the spoon and the ice on top of the Cherry 7 Up, evenly between the 4 glasses, filling them to be between 1/2 and 2/3 of the way full.
  • Repeat the pouring method with the Blue Gatorade, until the glasses are almost full.
  • Top each glass with a cherry and add a fun paper straw, if desired.
  • Serve immediately.
