Cherry phosphates are as American as apple pie – and this diner staple can be made at home, too. Try making these drinks for a summer barbecue or a burger and fries dinner.

Step 3
Add lemon juice and stir again to combine.
Step 4
Add ice cubes and garnish with maraschino cherry, if desired.

Tip
Cherry flavored syrup is about $4.00 per bottle; look for it in the coffee aisle, next to the creamers and gourmet coffee.
Warning
Use club soda that hasn't been opened to ensure it's fizzly, not flat.
