    I wrote down all the possible orders.

    M; L L L C C C L C
    B; L L C L C L C C
    V; L C L L L C C C
    Then I started crossing off combinations that violate the rules. For example, the last column has everyone drinking Cherry Cola, but the rule says that if Brenda has cherry cola, Melody and Vaughn don't have the same beverage, so I crossed out the last column. I continued to cross columns based on the rules and got the answer of Melody and Brenda - lemonade from column 2.
