What on earth is the name of this drink?

Years ago my friend made me a drink with vodka, sprite, lime juice, and grenadine. He always called it a red apple but I'm pretty sure this is wrong because it doesn't contain or taste like apples, and when I search "red apple" I get a totally different recipe. Now I'm working at a restaurant where I get to set the drink specials. I want to make this drink, so help me internet. What is it called? If it's not already a thing, what should it be called?

    It's a kind of incredibly trashy vodka collins with some grenadine mixed in. It's nothing really. Just something a teenager would make when they don't want to taste the booze. Google "vodka sprite grenadine" and you'll find hundreds of variations.

    Was it definitely grenadine? If it was Angostura it would be almost exactly a Long Vodka.

    Only you use 7-up instead of sprite.

    2 Oz Vodka
    5 Oz 7-up
    Spash of Grenadine
    1 Oz Lime juice

    I always do them over ice in a Collins but most people would use a highball.

    I never said it was fancy, but yes I was aware this drink pretty much screams "card me". And I will. But there's a lot of 19 year olds around this area who want to order something but not have it taste too alcohol-y. When I was them, this was what I liked.

    Thank you, this is it exactly. I knew H/A wouldn't let me down!
