Add spirits and orange juice to a shaker tin with ice and shake well. Double strain into a highball glass over a clear ice spear. Pour grenadine overtop and allow it to sink and separate. Take pictures. Garnish with an orange wedge. *For the Orange Juice, simply add 4 drops of 4:1 Citric Acid Solution.
