Name: San Francisco
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 40 ml Vodka; 20 ml Creme de Banane; 80 ml Orange Juice; 15 ml Grenadine; Orange Slice; Fresh Strawberry

The layering works because of density differences - grenadine is the heaviest and sinks, while crème de banane, poured gently over a spoon, floats above the juice.

From the Bartender

The layering works because of density differences - grenadine is the heaviest and sinks, while crème de banane, poured gently over a spoon, floats above the juice. Never stir before serving; let the guest break the gradient themselves for the full theatrical effect.
