San Francisco

The San Francisco is an alcohol-free drink: 4 ingredients, built in the glass and served in a hurricane glass. That makes 393 ml in the glass: a long drink.

Ingredients

• 22 mlfresh lemon juice
• 150 mlfresh orange juice
• 150 mlpineapple juice
• 20 mlgrenadine

Method

1. Run an orange slice around the rim and dip the glass into sugar.
2. Add ice, then pour the lemon juice and the two fruit juices.
3. Let the grenadine sink slowly to the bottom, then stir before drinking.

Garnish: A sugar rim, run an orange slice around it first.

What it tastes like

bitter → sweet

Sweetness leads, and it comes from pineapple juice: the 11th sweetest of 186.

round → sour

A sour through and through: 6th of 186 for acidity, carried by pineapple juice.

light → strong

No alcohol to speak of: 393 ml in the glass and under one degree, so it sits at the bottom of the axis with the other alcohol-free drinks.

It is the longest of its group: 393 ml against the 254 of its nearest neighbour.
