I'm gonna go super simple here: equal parts ginger beer and Sprite and add grenadine until it's near the color of a maraschino cherry (though obviously not as opaque). About half an oz or so.

A place for conversation about cocktails, ingredients, home mixology, the bar industry or liquor industry, glassware - this is not an exhaustive list. If you think it's in some way related to cocktails it's probably fine.
If you post something you didn't create give credit whenever possible.
Pictures and recipes are encouraged when posting a drink as a standalone post. Example of an ideal drink post:

We love garnishes.
Remember the code of conduct, keep it nice. In terms of cocktails- specific etiquette that might be different from other communities:
Mentioning your blog, insta, website, book or bar is allowed, yes. For now at least, we do allow self-promotion. If it gets out of hand this might change.
A good post with a drink you don't like is still a good post! Try not to conflate the drink and the post or poster. If someone has a relevant title, gorgeous photo and clearly formatted recipe of what you consider a truly terrible drink, a comment is more appropriate than a downvote.
On that topic: Polite critique/reviews of drinks (or posts, images, etc.) is allowed here. Encouraged , even. It's a good tool for improving your drinks and content. Really, just be nice.

Having a "Pathfinder Spritz" today. Trying to work up some nice NA cocktails for my Dry July. This really reminds me of Chinotto, but not as sweet. A bitter cola flavor, lightly spiced and slightly vegetal. Not bad, not great but I can taste the spiritless spirit to get an idea of how to use it.
2 oz Pathfinder
1/2 oz fresh lemon
About 4 oz fizzy water.
Huh, first time I noticed the pinned thread. Here's a favorite of mine, the Rock Shandy:
lemon juice
simple syrup
a generous helping of Angostura bitters
top with enough sparkling water to make a highball
Quantities to taste, it's supposed to be an almost-no-alcohol highball, though, so put dashes of bitters in it, not ounces. AFAIK the standard is lemon/lime soda instead of lemon juice and simple syrup, but I rarely keep soda around and IMO this version tastes better anyway.
Well it's dry July and I am having a strawberry lemonade - strawberry syrup, fresh lemon juice, the end of the strawberry kvass, and filtered water.
Strawberry kvass - cut strawberries tops off generously, save the strawberries for something else. Mix the tops with lots of sugar and boiled and cooled (or really filtered like lifestraw filtered) and any spices you want. Let this sit loosely covered until it's fizzy, then strain and bottle.
Strawberry syrup - lots of ways to make this. I did cook down strawberries in sugar and water then strained it. Tossed the mush of sweet strawberry gook into the kvass pitcher based on this recipe she doesn't use the tops for some reason but I always make the fruit fermented drinks with the peels, tops, ends - one of the reasons to do it in the first place is to divert waste!
