Calories: 122kcal
Equipment
- 1 clean, food-safe, needle-free 10 mL syringe
- 1 drinking glass or small jar
Ingredients
- ½ cup ice cubes
- 1 cup lemon-lime soda (Sprite or 7-UP)
- ⅓ ounce grenadine syrup (10 mL)
Instructions
- Add ice. Fill a drinking glass or small jar halfway with ice cubes.
- Pour in soda. Add the lemon-lime soda, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
- Fill the syringe. Draw 10 mL of grenadine syrup into a clean, food-safe, needle-free syringe.
- Create the bloody effect. Place the syringe in the glass and squirt a small amount of grenadine into the soda to create red swirls.
- Serve. Serve immediately and let guests inject the remaining grenadine into their drinks.
Notes
- Syringes: Use only new, clean, food-safe, needle-free syringes. An adult should supervise children using them.
- No syringe? Slowly pour the grenadine into the soda instead.
- Soda substitutions: Ginger ale works well for a traditional Shirley Temple flavor. Club soda makes a less sweet version.
- Grenadine substitutes: Try pomegranate syrup or raspberry syrup.
- Make ahead: Fill the syringes and refrigerate them ahead of time, following the syrup's storage instructions. Add soda just before serving.
- For 10 servings: Use 10 cups lemon-lime soda, 100 mL grenadine, and 5 cups ice.
- Adult variation: Add 1-2 oz vodka or white rum per drink and clearly separate alcoholic drinks from mocktails.
