Notes
- This recipe makes one drink. You can easily scale the quantities up by changing the number of of servings on the recipe card.
- I use grenadine because it helps to sweeten the drink, and adds extra flavor and color. If you don't want to use grenadine, you can use an equal amount of simple syrup.
- If you don't have a cocktail shaker at home, you can shake your ingredients in a mason jar, or just use a spoon to stir everything together.
