  • Grenadine½ shot¾ oz
  • Garnish: Cherry

Shots and ounces · 1 shot = 1½ oz = 4-second pourCounts

ALL OF THESE DRINKS ARE MADE IN A BUCKET GLASS FILLED WITH ICE

How to remember it

Pour the grenadine last and let it sink: red at the bottom rising into orange, just like a sunrise. The cherry is the sun.

Drink family: Highball · Spirit + a tall mixer, over ice

Built in the glass: the spirit goes in first, the mixer fills it.

Same shape on your sheets: Cuba Libre, Screwdriver, Harvey Wallbanger, Caribbean Breeze

Memory tricks are written for this app; only the acronym is printed on the sheet. Drink families are Gary Regan's, from The Joy of Mixology.
