# Ingredients:
For the slush
01 -
2 cups ice cubes

1 cup (240 ml) chilled lemon-lime soda, plus 1/4 cup (60 ml) more for topping

For serving

# Instructions:
01 -
Place 2 serving glasses in the freezer for 5 minutes if you have time. Keep the soda cold until blending.
02 -
Add the ice, 1 cup lemon-lime soda, grenadine, lime juice, and cherry juice to a blender. Pulse until thick and slushy, about 20-30 seconds.

Taste and adjust with more lime juice if it is too sweet. Add a splash of soda if the slush is too thick, or a few ice cubes if it is too loose.
04 -
Divide the frozen mocktail between the chilled glasses. Top each glass with a small splash of cold lemon-lime soda for fizz.
05 -
Add maraschino cherries and a lime wheel or orange slice. Serve immediately while cold and bubbly.
