Fill the shaker with ice.
Shake vigorously for 15 seconds (3 hard shakes are insufficient for proper chilling and dilution).
Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a chilled cocktail glass, then dip the rim into a shallow dish of sugar.
Double strain the cocktail into the prepared glass to remove ice chips.
Gently layer 0.25 oz grenadine to the bottom of the glass.
Garnish with a lime wheel.
