  • 4 maraschino cherries
  • Whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
  • Optional: Red and white sugar sprinkles

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Glasses

  1. Chill the glasses in the refrigerator for 15 minutes for a frosty effect.
  2. Optional: Dip the rims of the glasses in grenadine and roll them in red or white sugar sprinkles for a festive touch.

Step 2: Fill with Ice and Soda

Step 3: Add the Grenadine

  2. Let the grenadine sink to the bottom for a layered effect, or gently stir for a uniform red color.

Step 4: Create the Santa’s Hat Garnish

  2. Skewer a maraschino cherry onto a cocktail pick and place it on top of the whipped cream.
  3. Optional: Sprinkle red sugar over the whipped cream for extra sparkle.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
