|---|---|
| Unused as IBA | A recovered 1/1 splash statute |
| Grenadine name loose | A pomegranate statute |
| Sunrise 45/90/15 | A Gatorade-shot IBA |

Count the pour
House table, not an IBA lock:
| Part | mL | fl oz |
|---|---|---|
| Vodka (recovered house) | 30 | 1.0 |
| Blue curaçao (recovered house) | 30 | 1.0 |
| Grenadine | splash | splash |
| Grape sports drink (recovered house) | 90–150 | 3–5 |
30 mL of 40% vodka is about 0.67 of a US drink before the curaçao. A 1.5 fl oz at 40% is one drink. A 750 mL 40% bottle is about 17 × 1.5 oz pours. Sports drink does not erase the ethanol.
