This cocktail comes from a share within our Runaway Anchor Patreon Speakeasy group. After making it a couple of times, I would classify this cocktail as “alcoholic tropical punch”. The bourbon is buried in this drink. The citrus is front and center with the lemon (or lime) balancing nicely with the orange in the Curacao and the rich grenadine syrup. If you aren’t making your own grenadine at home, consider buying the one we used from Portland Syrups and created by Anders Erickson. It is awesome!
Enjoy the last month of summer with this smooth sipper! But be careful, as each drink is still packing 2 oz of booze, and if you use a high proof bourbon, this drink could sneak up on you! Drink responsibly.
Cheers!
