Much simpler than I was hoping for (I guess that's on me, vodka is the base spirit after all).

A Tequila Sunrise for rum lovers. It's a bit too sweet for me but not easy to see how this could be toned down. Pouring the Grenadine after the first four, shaken ingredients gives you the Sunrise look at the bottom of the glass which balances the lake of the rum sitting on top.

Grenadine sunrise is a great idea but to keep simple, I've adjusted the recipe above and in doing so also made a tad less boozy by reducing triple sec.
