Light sweet-and-sour mix, paired with light raspberry-pomegranate vodka, Malibu, and a drizzle of grenadine, is all that’s needed for a sweet-and-tangy, mildly fruity drink with faint coconut undertones. There’s just enough coconut to lend a tropical, summertime, warm weather vibe without it being overly pronounced. The grenadine can either be left unstirred for a gradient effect, or stirred in for a uniform color. Serve it punchbowl-style or fancier in martini glasses. The punch is tart and tangy, not overly sweet thanks to the sour mix, and packs a stronger punch than you’d suspect without being a caloric lead balloon.
To a large bowl or large glass, add the sweet-and-sour, vodka, Malibu, and stir to combine.
Drizzle in the grenadine and leave unstirred for a gradient effect, or stir in for a pinky-peach uniform color.
Optionally, garnish the punchbowl or each glass with raspberries.
Add ice to glasses and serve; or go ice-less and serve in chilled martini glasses. Recipe is intended for those for whom alcohol use is legal and appropriate. Always drink responsibly.
