Method

Cocktail

Prepare glass

Select a highball or Collins glass (12–14 oz). Fill the glass about three-quarters full with cubed ice to chill.

Mix base

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine 2 oz Tito's Handmade Vodka, 3 oz pineapple juice, and 0.5 oz fresh lime juice. Shake vigorously for 8–10 seconds until well chilled.

Strain and top

Strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass over the ice. Leave a little room at the top for the grenadine sink (about 0.25–0.5 oz worth of space).

Create grenadine sink

Slowly pour 0.25 oz grenadine down the inside of the glass or over the back of a bar spoon so it sinks to the bottom and creates a layered red-to-golden gradient.

Garnish and serve

Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim and an optional pineapple wedge or leaf. Serve with a straw so the drinker can stir to combine if desired.
