things people ask

• How many tablespoons of grenadine go into a Tequila Sunrise?
  Classic spec calls for half an ounce of grenadine, which is one tablespoon — about 21 g. The syrup sinks because of its density (over 1.3 g/mL versus the orange juice's ~1.05), which is what creates the gradient. If you double the pour to two tablespoons (~42 g), the drink reads as candy-sweet and the layering still works but loses its subtlety.
• What's a good tablespoon ratio for fruit syrup in homemade soda?
  Two tablespoons (~42 g) of fruit syrup to a cup of cold sparkling water is the standard Italian-soda starting point. Raspberry and blackcurrant cordials hold up well at that ratio; grenadine is sweeter and often gets dialed back to one and a half tablespoons. Stir before adding ice — the syrup is dense enough to pool at the bottom otherwise.
• How do I measure tablespoons of sticky fruit syrup without waste?
  Warm the spoon under hot tap water and dry it before dipping — the syrup releases cleanly instead of clinging. For repeat pours, a 30 mL jigger marked at half-ounce gives you a tablespoon by volume (close to 21 g for most fruit syrups). Tare a small bowl on a scale if precision matters, since drag along the spoon can cost you 2-3 g per measure.
