Making this cocktail is fun and easy! If you want a less sweet version, reduce the grenadine. You could add a twist of lemon for a zesty finish too!
Feel free to experiment with different liqueurs or even swap the vodka for gin for a unique twist. The club soda can also be flavored, like lemon-lime, for an added complexity. Don’t forget to share how yours turned out in the comments! 😊🍸
