The taste reminds me somewhat of a grown-up Hawaiian Punch.

An excellent cocktail which as Berverly and as the Taste & Strength guide notes is both sweet and tart; a perfect combination! Notwithstanding this cocktail is associated with St. David's Day in March, this would make an excellent XMAS cocktail. Not only is it delicious, it is red and both pomegranates from which Grenadine is made and blood oranges are winter fruits associated, at least in Canada, with XMAS. (For those who have wondered about the origins of the name grenadine, it is a derivative of grenade, the French word for pomegranate!)

Very nice cocktail. I found this to be both sweet and tart. Would not change a thing. Starts a bit sweet finishes on the tart side. Will make again.

It's plenty big as presented, which makes it easy to cut the curacao back to 3/4 oz and the grenadine (I used pomegranate liqueur) back to 1/4 oz. Still plenty sweet and red enough, and very citrusy. Another great blood orange juice recipe. Now I need to try it with P. Ferrand Limited Edition Late Harvest Moroccan Yuzu Curacao.

This was a little too sweet for me. I will try it with half amount of grenadine syrup next time to see if it balances better. A "work in progress" cocktail.

The recipe calls for lemon juice in addition to both curacao and blood orange liqueur (Solerno), while the review section mentions blood orange juice and curacao. Could one of those be incorrect?

Many thanks for bringing to my attention. Should be blood orange juice (not liqueur). Now corrected.

Well, inspired by this, I made the drink with the corrected recipe, but subbing Solerno for the dry curacao, and cutting the grenadine to 1/4 Oz (as Solerno is pretty sweet). It worked quite well.
