Twelve Mile Limit Cocktail

When Saveur suggested this potent cocktail as a possible pairing for our Harvest Dinner menu, we practically dared each other to drink it. Filled with a variety of alcohols with only lemon juice and grenadine to cut the flavor, we were surprised at how delicious it tasted. But we all agreed next time we'd add seltzer water to cut it just a bit more.
