What each ingredient does

Tennessee whiskey: Provides the spirit base and strong whiskey flavour that the juices dilute.
Pineapple juice: Adds sweetness, body and fruity volume to the drink.
Orange juice: Adds citrus brightness and acidity that balances the sweetness.
Triple sec: Adds orange-flavoured liqueur sweetness and aroma.
Grenadine: Adds sweetness and a red colour that settles to create a layered look.
