"Today I'm going to demonstrate how to mix a High Rise. We're going to start by pouring our ice directly into our highball glass for this one. Now after doing that we're going to mix in our main ingredients. Our base is going to be vodka, we're going to have two parts vodka to one part triple sec. So for this let's go an ounce and a half to three quarters ounce. So the ounce and a half is going to be a six count. One, two, three, hold on, there we go, sometimes a pour gets stuck. One, two, three, four, five, six, to three-quarters of an ounce of triple sec. Or one, two, and three for our count. Now we're going to top it up with orange juice, sour mix, and finish it off with a splash of grenadine which has that cherry pomegranate flavor and adds a really nice color to the drink. Now we're going to pour all of these ingredients right back into our mixing tin, we're going to use our cheater tin in this case. Shake it up a little bit, and then pour everything right back in to our highball. Don't forget your straw, and that's your High Rise. Enjoy."
