In his book, Vic prefaces this cocktail with the comment, "Nice, easy drink". It's basically a lemon Daiquiri with gin and grenadine.

Adapted from a recipe in Victor Bergeron's 1972 Trader Vic's Bartender's Guide where this recipe is accompanied by the "TV" logo indicating that this recipe is a Trader Vic original.
