Notes
Substitutions: Ginger ale can replace the lemon lime soda. Diet soda makes a lighter drink.
Tips: Chill the soda and juice first and stir gently to keep the bubbles. Add extra cherry juice for a stronger flavor.
Storage: Ideal when served fresh. Cover and refrigerate leftovers and expect a softer fizz.
