Instructions

Step 1

Mix the base sodas: In a shaker or mixing glass, combine 1/2 cup Coca-Cola and 1/2 cup Mountain Dew Code Red. Stir gently to blend the sodas without losing too much carbonation.

Step 2

Enhance the cherry flavor: Add 3/4 tsp cherry syrup for a more pronounced cherry note. Stir in 1 tsp lemon juice and 1 tsp lime juice for a tangy balance.

Step 3

Incorporate grenadine and vanilla: Add 1/4 tsp grenadine to boost the fruity flavor and deepen the color. Next, stir in 1/4 tsp vanilla extract to smooth out the tartness and balance the sweetness.

Step 4

Spice it up: Add 1/8 tsp cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg, and a pinch of allspice. Stir gently, letting the warm spices dissolve and enhance the depth of the drink.

Step 5

Chill and serve: Fill a glass with ice cubes, and pour the mixture over the ice. Stir lightly to combine the flavors. Optional Garnish: Add a maraschino cherry or a citrus slice for added color and flair.
