Drink Base

2 cups Cranberry Juice Use unsweetened for less sugar or flavored versions for a twist.
2 cups Sparkling Apple Cider Substitution: Ginger ale for a sweeter option.
1 cup Club Soda Essential for maintaining fizziness when served.
1 oz Grenadine Syrup Alternative: Pomegranate syrup for a slightly different flavor.

For Serving

2 cups Ice Cubes Use larger cubes to slow dilution.
1 cup Red Sugar Substitution: Colored sugar or regular granulated sugar can be used.
4 pieces Maraschino Cherries Substitution: Fresh fruit slices like oranges or limes for a zestier option.

Preparation

Begin by rimming your glasses with grenadine syrup and dip the edges into red sugar to achieve a vibrant look.
Fill the rimmed glasses about two-thirds full with ice cubes.
Pour the chilled cranberry juice into each glass, filling them halfway.
Gently pour sparkling apple cider into the glasses, filling them almost to the top.
Slowly drizzle grenadine syrup into each glass for an iconic layered look.
Add a splash of club soda for an extra layer of fizziness.
Optionally, gently stir with a spoon to blend all ingredients if desired.
