Dragon Smoke (Alternative)

1 1/2 oz. gin
3/4 oz. blue curacao
3/4 oz. lemon juice
splash of grenadine
lemon-lime soda

Combine gin, blue curacao, and lemon juice in a glass with ice. Add just enough grenadine for the drink to turn dark gray and stir. Top off with lemon-lime soda.

Notes

This is an alternative to the original Dragon Smoke formula, for when lemon-lime soda is in greater supply than seltzer water. Consider limiting the amount of lemon-lime soda so it isn't too sweet. The nonalcoholic variant can be made in the same way as for the original Dragon Smoke: Substitute gin and blue curaco with nonalcoholic alternatives (my personal recommendations are The Spirit of Gin from Free Spirits and Finest Call Blue Curacao Syrup).
