How to Make the Hand Grenade Mixed Drink

Video Transcript

"Today, I'm going to demonstrate how to mix a Hand Grenade. Now we're going to mix this directly into our highball glass because, there's just few, so few ingredients you don't need to necessarily shake to get it between a mixing glass and the tin. So we're going to add our ice directly into our highball. And we're going to start off with our base ingredient, which is going to be tequila. We're using well tequila for demonstration purposes. But feel free to use any tequila that you happen to like. A quick note about tequila, it's actually distilled or fermented and distilled from Agave, and by Mexican law it has to be fifty one percent natural Blue Agave. And it's aged for at least two years. So, we're going to go about an ounce and a half to two ounces or six to eight count. So one, two, three, four, five and six. And then we're going to top the rest of the glass off with cranberry juice. All the way to the top. Now anything that has cranberry juice is really, really suited for a lime as a garnish. And tequila for the most part goes really well with lime as well. So what we're going to want to do is just throw a lime on the top. Make sure that you have it split open there. And that is your Hand Grenade. Enjoy."
