Russian Monster

This drink packs a whopping four ounces of vodka, making it a double and then some. Since vodka doesn’t really have a flavor, this one is really just the taste of the sweet and sour mix with the grenadine, which you add to taste – and tastes will vary, so feel free to experiment to find just the amount you want to use.
Recipe:

4 ounces vodka
5 ounces sweet and sour mix
Grenadine to taste

Instructions:

Fill a collins glass with ice. Pour in the vodka and sweet and sour mix, and then add the grenadine to taste
