So go ahead, dive on in!

1/4 part fresh lemon juice
1/4 part fresh orange juice
1/4 part chambord
1/2 part honey simple syrup

Garnished with a dripping brandied cherry on a pick positioned on the rim of the glass. The idea is that the cherry sitting in the rim dripping cherry juice will begin to draw the shark up.

Amigos, located in Morningside Heights, will be serving The Shark Attack, from August 4th through 11th. This special cocktail is made of vodka, lemonade and grenadine and tables that order a fish bowl-sized version will receive a free side of Mexican-spiced fries.
