Fill a cocktail shaker with ice to chill the mixing vessel and prepare for combining ingredients.

Pour 1 oz bourbon, ½ oz triple sec, and 1 oz fresh lemon juice into the chilled shaker.

Add a dash of grenadine to the shaker for color and subtle sweetness.

Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds until the exterior becomes frosty and the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

Strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or rocks glass filled with fresh ice.

Serve immediately and enjoy while cold.
