Note
For a milder flavor profile, reduce the amount of Bushmills to 1/2 ounce.
The drink creates a "sunset" effect, with red at the bottom fading to pink at the top. Do not stir before serving to maintain this visual appeal.
Use fresh lime juice for the best balance of tartness against the sweet grenadine.
