Up, Up & Away

Description

The charm of Up, Up & Away is in the contrast: familiar flavours, but with enough shape to make it memorable. Vodka, orange juice and cranberry juice give it a flavour story that is easy to understand but not boring. The best version has a clear beginning, middle and finish: aroma first, then sweetness or fruit, then enough acidity or bitterness to clean up the sip.

That makes it useful for home mixing because it feels generous without needing complicated technique.

Ingredients

40 ml Vodka
80 ml Orange juice
60 ml Cranberry Juice
10 ml Grenadine

Equipment needed

Bar Spoon

Instructions

Fill a tall glass with ice. Pour vodka, orange juice and cranberry juice in layers to create colour separation. Slowly drizzle grenadine for a sunrise effect. Garnish with a cocktail umbrella or candy “balloons” on a skewer.
