Sparkle & Finish

Method

Prepare & Shake

  1. 1

    Combine spirits and citrus

    Add the white rum, vodka, gin, fresh lime juice, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup into a cocktail shaker.

  2. 2

    Add ice and shake

    Fill the shaker halfway with ice (about 1 cup). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted.

Build the Drink

  1. 3

    Strain into glass

    Fill a tall Collins glass or highball with fresh ice. Strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass, leaving room at the top for soda.

  2. 4

    Add grenadine and soda

    Slowly pour the grenadine down the side of the glass so it sinks and creates a layered 'fountain' effect. Top with 3 oz chilled club soda, pouring gently to preserve the visual layering.

Garnish & Serve

  1. 5

    Garnish with an orange wheel on the rim and drop a maraschino cherry into the drink. Serve immediately with a straw so the guest can stir slightly to blend if they wish.
