Depending on your grenadine, this cocktail ranges from blush pink to barely coloured and the flavour will also vary. The colour is immaterial, but nail...

It really is spirituous. My high quality grenadine is what saved it from being too much and pairs well with the Calvados.

Is this known to be a riff on the 75 or did they develop independently?

Very nice after dinner cocktail. Very spirt foward. Made as directed..not for the faint of heart.Will make again.

Was looking for a spirit forward cocktail for the evening, and this was perfect. Did back off the grenadine by half, but followed the rest of the recipe. Great.

Agreed. Grenadine needed cutting back. This led me to revisit this cocktail and the original recipe. Please see my revised spec above.
