Highball Glass

Glass Guide- Highball Glass

Take a Greyhound and add the sweet pomegranate of grenadine for this delicious Firefly cocktail. Fresh squeezed grapefruit juice is best for any cocktail, especially those like this that depend on the juice for flavor. The grenadine has two functions in this mixed drink: to balance out the tartness of the grapefruit and to give it a beautiful pink hue with the progressive effect of a Tequila Sunrise.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz vodka
  • 4 oz grapefruit juice
  • 1 oz grenadine

Preparation:

  1. Pour the vodka and grapefruit juice into a mixing glass with ice.
  2. Stir well.
  3. Strain into a highball glass filled with ice.
  4. Add the grenadine.
  5. Stir again or allow the grenadine to float up from the bottom.
