01

Step
1 mins

Pour one pint of beer into a chilled glass. (1 minute)

02

Step
1 mins

Measure 1.5 fluid ounces of whiskey and gently pour it into the beer. (1 minute)

03

Step
1 mins

Add 0.75 fluid ounces of grenadine syrup, allowing it to settle and create a layered effect. (1 minute)

For a sweeter drink, increase the grenadine slightly. For a stronger kick, use a higher-proof whiskey.
Experiment with different beer styles to find your preferred flavor combination. A lighter lager will allow the whiskey and grenadine to shine, while a darker ale will add more depth.
Garnish with a cherry or orange slice for an added touch of elegance.
