Layer in a pousse café glass in the order listed, starting with the grenadine. To layer, very slowly and carefully pour the ingredients over the back of a teaspoon that's pressed against the inside of the glass and angled downward, so that the ingredients run down the side of the glass. Then, shoot the drink unceremoniously.

Origin: The correct layered effect can be difficult to achieve. Be patient. Or, don’t, and just enjoy the muddled attempt for its extreme deliciousness.
