Ingredients

  • Ounces vodka vanilla, such as Smirnoff Vanilla Vodka
  • 1 Ounce grenadine
  • 1 Ounce black cherry juice
  • 3/4 Ounce lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • ½ Ounce egg white pasteurized, optional
  • ice

Optional Garnishes:

  • 1 Slice lemon
  • 1 maraschino cherry

Instructions

  • To a cocktail shaker, add vanilla vodka, grenadine, black cherry juice, lemon juice, and egg white. Shake until frothy (about 30 seconds).
  • Add ice to cocktail shaker. Shake contents for 15 to 20 seconds, or until chilled throughout. Pour into glass.
  • Garnish with a lemon wheel and/or a cocktail cherry, if desired.

Notes

Shake twice: Dry-shaking the ingredients before adding ice helps emulsify the egg white and gives you that perfect froth.
Use fresh lemon juice: It brightens the drink and balances the sweetness better than bottled juice.
Chill your glass: A cold glass helps the cocktail stay perfectly chilled from first sip to last.
Use the right glass: A coupe or martini glass works beautifully for this elegant cocktail.
