Notes
-
Want to create a layered “sunset” effect? Pour the grenadine last and skip the shake—it’ll settle beautifully at the bottom of the glass.
-
To batch for a crowd, multiply the ingredients and shake in portions as needed.
-
For a non-alcoholic version, use coconut water, orange juice, and grenadine. Still fruity and fun!
-
Chill your shot glasses ahead of time for an extra-refreshing sip.
-
Don’t have a cocktail shaker? A mason jar with a lid works just fine.
