Loved it! Read the reviews and adapted by leaving out the sour mix and reducing the grenadine to a few drops. It was just right in terms of tart/sweet balance...up until the very end, when that sip of grenadine gave it a really sweet pop. I'll definitely make this again!

This drink is so yummy. But maybe I'll omit the grenadine next time. Cause the last sip is too sweet. Thanks Momaphet :) Made for ZWT8 for Diners, Winers and Chives

Very nice cocktail, but next time I would opt for a pure concentrated cranberry juice such as that sold at Trader Joe's; perhaps that could be an option for this recipe. I think the cocktail would benefit from that little extra contrast. I know THE recipe calls for 1/2 oz. of sour mix, but I think that amount could be decreased somewhat for a superior flavor. I had no problem drinking this; it fit my preference for a cocktail in which I can taste the spirits but not be bowled over by them. Thank you for posting this recipe, momaphet!
