What is the bartender tip for a Pink Lemonade?
The 10 ml of grenadine makes the drink redder and fruitier; less syrup keeps it lighter, closer to classic pink lemonade. Any red fruit syrup works — strawberry, raspberry, hibiscus. Cubes below and crushed ice on top cool it down without over-diluting. Slap the mint, don't muddle it: crushing makes the drink bitter. After the soda, stir just enough to lift the syrup off the bottom.
