This isn't exactly a recipe, but I was a big fan of Diet Mountain Code Red and lament that it was discontinued. But I have discovered that you can add a packet of unsweetened cherry Kool-AID to any Dewish two-liter soda and get a very close approximation. Just don't use the pre-sweetened single-serve packets; the combined sweetness is too much.

It's best to pour out a cup or so from the two-liter to allow room for the foaming up when you add the powder. And of course you're not going to shake it vigorously to mix. Just swirl gently. It works.

You don't have to limit yourself to cherry flavored. Pink lemonade will mimic Spark, and I expect a watermelon would get you Major Melon. And so on.
