How to make ginger ale out of Sprite? ›

At least ¾ of the "ginger ale" should be Sprite, 7–Up, or another lemon-lime soda. You can even make it most of the drink, saving just a splash for the remaining ingredients. Fill the rest with cola. The main purpose of the cola is to add a golden color to the clear soda.
