Very tasty and with a generous proportion of grenadine. 22.5ml lime juice seems just right. Smooth, tart and refreshing.

I’ve updated this recipe and will rephotograph ASAP. The previous recipe:
60 ml Light white rum (charcoal-filtered 1-4 years old)
30 ml Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
15 ml Grenadine/pomegranate syrup
15 ml Egg white (pasteurised) or Vegg White vegan egg white alternative

This makes a fantastic summer drink (and here it is late winter). Not sweet, I used a homemade grenadine syrup. Absolutely great flavor and very enjoyable.

This was a delicious drink — and interesting. The final drink did not have the flavor profile I was expecting. Somehow the egg white brought out the jammy, rich fruity flavors of the grenadine.

I found this a little too sweet, would try again with less grenadine.

Any suggestions for a non-alcoholic approximation ? … i know, i know, it wouldn’t be the real thing but some of my guests … well, you know how it goes

Please see my Limeade recipe. More of a summer drink but delicious and a cocktail I've served at BBQs.

Normally we cut back on the grenadine to make the cocktail a bit dryer, but we used full amount and it was perfect. The colour was exactly in the picture, and the cocktail was refreshing. Perfect for the latter days of Summer.

Mine came out nowhere near that colour, and based on the amount of grenadine I have no idea how it would. Tasted great though.

I really liked this as I’m not a fan of very sweet cocktails, this has a nice tartness that the wife and I enjoyed.

I love these glasses! Any idea where they are from?

I don't know who makes the glass above but it is very similar to Urban Bar's Ginza Tall Cuts Old Fashioned. If you search Ginza Tall Cuts in our site search above it will take you to a page with links to Urban Bar.
