Fill a tall cocktail glass with fresh ice cubes.
Double strain the mixture into the glass through both strainers.
Top with club soda and stir gently with a bar spoon.

Notes
The drink should have a gradient effect with the grenadine settling at the bottom. Don't stir too much or this effect will be lost.Fresh lime juice makes a big difference in taste compared to bottled juice.Store grenadine syrup in the refrigerator after opening to maintain freshness.For a non-alcoholic version, replace vodka with lemon-lime soda or additional club soda.
