🍸 The Story Behind The Red Pond
This cocktail was born on a scorching hot day — the kind that practically begs for something cool, fruity, and refreshing. We were hanging out, craving a drink that went beyond the usual two-ingredient combo. Vodka felt like the perfect base, but pineapple juice alone didn’t quite hit the mark.
So we experimented. One pour led to another, and soon we were mixing equal parts of vodka, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice — a trio that delivered just the right balance of sweetness and tang. But it still needed a final flourish. Enter: a dash of grenadine. It added that perfect depth of color and just a hint of rich sweetness.
The Red Pond was an instant hit. Bright, smooth, and dangerously easy to sip — it quickly became a go-to summer favorite. We hope it becomes one of yours too.
