Step 1: Chill Your Ingredients: Make sure all the ingredients are well-chilled before starting. Cold juices and soda make the mocktail more refreshing and help keep the ice from watering down the drink too quickly.

Step 2: Prepare the Glass: Fill your serving glass with ice cubes. For extra festivity, rim the glass with sugar. Dip the rim in water or grenadine, then roll it in granulated sugar for a sparkling finish.

Step 3: Mix the Mocktail: In a mixing jug or directly in the glass, combine cranberry juice, pineapple juice, and lemon-lime soda. Stir gently to keep the fizz. Add grenadine syrup, letting it settle at the bottom for a beautiful layered look.

Step 4: Add the Whipped Cream: Top the mocktail with a swirl of whipped cream. This not only gives it a festive touch but also adds a creamy richness that complements the fruity flavors.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve: Finish with a maraschino cherry and a fresh mint leaf for a pop of color. Serve with a festive straw, and enjoy the cheerful vibes!
