Hawaiian Sunset
A sweet tropical-style drink, made more complex than the usual vodka lemonade by the use of orgeat and combination of citrus juices

Very clean and refreshing Tiki cocktail that requires zero rum. The grenadine stands out just ahead of the double punch of acid. The vodka adds a slight hint of spice but otherwise just dilutes and tames the acid hit. Colour varies with the grenadine - I was using a Monin Grendadine and it was a more vibrant red compared to a homemade version.
