Method

How to make La Bomba

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Chill the coupe thoroughly, prepare the Thin sugar rim and one small thin lime wheel, and ready the shaker.

  2. 02

    Measure tequila reposado, triple sec, pineapple juice, orange juice, grenadine, lime, white sugar accurately and add them to a clean cocktail shaker.

  3. 03

    Fill the shaker about three-quarters full with solid ice cubes and seal it firmly.

  4. 04

    Pre-chill a coupe. Moisten only the outside edge with a lime wedge, discard it, and apply a thin even sugar rim. Shake the gold tequila, triple sec, pineapple juice, and orange juice with solid ice exactly three firm times. Strain into the coupe, add two restrained grenadine dashes for a soft red base, then place exactly one small thin lime wheel at the rim.

  5. 05

    Fine-strain into the chilled coupe so no small ice fragments reach the drink.

  6. 06

    Finish with Thin sugar rim and one small thin lime wheel and serve immediately.
