That sounds like it would taste awful but looks rather inviting. Full fat sour cream I'm assuming?
The grenadine actually adds a nice sweetness to the drink, but not overpowering that you can't taste the floral notes of the gin. I actually just used the regular old supermarket light cream I had sitting in the fridge. The story is that it's one of the first "girly" drinks made, mostly due to the color, but also because of the texture and frothiness from the cream (and egg white, which I left out as I didn't have eggs) and the sweeter taste. From the 2oz of gin, it's more like a pretty looking date **** cocktail.
