Garnish each glass with maraschino cherries and a thin orange slice, then serve immediately.
Comments
Every ingredient is available at any Charlotte grocery chain without exception—lemon-lime soda, cherry juice and cherries are staples at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, Walmart, ALDI, and Kroger. The per-serving cost is trivial, perhaps 40–50 cents, driven only by soda and preserved cherries. The five-minute time is honest; this is literally pouring and garnishing. It's a batch cocktail that works for parties and requires zero attention once mixed, making it ideal for families with kids or casual entertaining.
