Make simple syrup - All you do is take ¼ cup of water and ¼ cup of sugar in a sauce pan over medium heat - stir until all the sugar is dissolved. Take the saucepan off the heat. Allow the syrup to cool ( it is THAT simple)
Making the drink - take a tall glass and fill with ice. Slowly add grenadine.
Next add blue curaçao - slowly --- the weight of the liquid is different than the grenadine thus it floats on top.
Next take a shaker - place ice lemon juice, simple syrup and vodka. Cover and shake. Slowly add to the glass
Garnish with a cherry if you like
Enjoy!
