Today we’re talking about some gravity, specifically about specific gravity and testing the theory that vodka is lighter than water and water is lighter than grenadine. While you probably don’t want to drink the layered craziness we’re creating, it’s here to demonstrate how specific alcohols related to water and what will layer well on top of another spirit (or water).
