This is one of my original cocktails and it just happens to be a product of one of those lazy summer afternoons and a "what's in the bar today?" revelation. Much like a Tequila Sunrise, the Ruby Rum Sunrise features the rising of grenadine throughout the drinking experience, only here it is set against a lighter, ruby red backdrop. I also prefer to shake the main ingredients and pour them over ice, it makes the entire drink lighter and ensures the sour mix is sufficiently mixed its compatriots.
Ingredients:
- 2 oz rum
- 1/2 oz sour mix
- 1 1/2 oz ruby red grapefruit juice
- 1/2 oz grenadine
Preparation:
- Pour the rum, grapefruit juice and sour mix into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
- Shake well.
- Strain into an old-fashioned glass filled with ice.
- Pour grenadine on top until it covers the bottom of the glass.
