All the recipes that I've found for the hand grenade are exactly the same, but 
they're definitely not the one from the Tropical Isle.  The recipes say:
- 1 1/2 oz gin  
- 1 1/2 oz grain alcohol  
- 1 1/2 oz melon liqueur  
- 1 1/2 oz rum  
- 1 1/2 oz vodka  
You can tell by just looking at the ingredients that it doesn't taste like the 
real one.  However, there is a solution.  You can actually buy the REAL 
Tropical Isle hand grenade mix from the Tropical Isle website in 1QT and 1 
Gallon containers.  Go to www.tropicalisle.com and click on "Shop" then "Hand 
Grenade and Other Mixes."  It comes as just the concentrate (already quite 
potent) and you mix in the grain alcohol which isn't included.  Mixing, 
dosing, and even drinking instructions are included. 

For all of you that have not tried this drink, it is a MUST!  There's no 
substitute for the real thing.
