Day 16: "Bloody Hurricane"

This next drink is called the Bloody Hurricane. Very easy drink to make, but will it live up to the name?

Here’s the recipe I used (taken from DrinksMixer.com):

1 oz tequila (Sauza Tequila Silver)
12 oz lemon-lime soda (7-Up)
1/2 oz grenadine syrup (Rose’s Grenadine Syrup)

Pour tequila into a glass. Add 7-Up and splash grenadine. Add ice and serve.

This more obscure cocktail can be served in any type of glassware and is usually garnished with a cherry.

Personal tasting notes: I want to give this drink a second chance. It was a little bland, but I feel using maraschino cherry juice instead of the grenadine, and maybe vodka instead, would make for a really tasty alcoholic Shirley Temple. Definitely some potential, but I wouldn’t recommend the recipe as it stands.
