on ordering cocktails at a bar or restaurant

[mmbt0ne]

Based on the taste of #2, recipe 1 seemed like way too much lemon juice, and too little grenadine.

I went with about a 5:1:1 ratio, and it came out too sweet. I added another 1 part applejack and it's good to go. Maybe a little too tart, but I like it. You can tune down the lemon juice a tad if you like.

So, as far as I can tell, the definitive recipe for this should be:

Chill glass
6 parts applejack
1 part grenadine
1 part lemon juice
Shake with ice
Strain into glass
