Batman #2 is a simple, highball-style mixed drink that leans into bright fruit and a bold, eye-catching colour. With just orange juice and grenadine, it sits firmly in the easygoing, juice-forward end of the cocktail spectrum—more of a playful, retro-inspired refresher than a spirit-led classic. You’ll find it feels at home alongside other straightforward bar staples built for quick sipping and instant appeal.
On the palate, orange juice brings a rounded citrus sweetness with a gentle tang, while grenadine adds a deeper, syrupy pomegranate-like sweetness and a rosy hue. The grenadine’s richness thickens the orange juice slightly and shifts the overall flavour from pure citrus into something more candy-sweet and smooth, with the fruitiness lingering after each sip.
Serve it when you want something light, approachable, and unmistakably fruity—ideal for daytime hangs, casual parties, or as a non-intimidating option for anyone who prefers sweetness over bite. If you like vibrant colour in the glass and an easy, crowd-pleasing flavour, this one fits the bill.

Cocktail Colin says:
Orange juice leads with bright, pulpy citrus while grenadine brings a deep pomegranate-berry sweetness that tints the whole drink ruby and rounds the edges into a candy-like finish. It works because the orange’s acidity keeps the grenadine from turning cloying, making it ideal for beginners and anyone who likes simple, sweet, fruit-forward highballs.
