In a mixing glass or shaker without shaking, combine 1.5 fl oz vodka, 0.5 fl oz fresh lemon juice, and 0.25 fl oz simple syrup. Stir gently for 5–8 seconds to combine.

Assemble cocktail
Discard any excess water from the ice-filled serving glass if needed. Place the hulled and sliced strawberries or halved red grapes into the bottom of the serving glass. Pour the vodka-lemon-simple syrup mixture over the fruit and ice. Add 8 fl oz of sweet red wine (such as Lambrusco or Brachetto). Top with 6.5 fl oz club soda to reach roughly 16 fl oz total. Drizzle 0.25 fl oz grenadine slowly over the top so it sinks slightly and creates a layered sweet-red hue.
