Both the grenadine and the lime cordial leak all over creation. And they're sticky, so this is a huge pain.
Bottles should keep the liquid in. That's the whole point of a bottle, isn't it? Not to leak all over the place? I thought we had this figured out.
It's all the sizes, too. It's not as though the small one is a funky size that makes it impossible to have the tin cap flush with the glass bottle. The big ones have the same problem and leak even more grenadine.
I realize that the metal cap is picturesque. Or something. I don't care. I'm sick of having a sticky mess in my liquor cabinet.

Why do you use Rose's grenadine? Stirrings's is much better, unless you happen to prefer a product that consists mostly of high fructose corn syrup and red #40. Better still, make your own grenadine.
I don't know what to tell you about the lime juice. Rose's still makes a fine gimlet.
True story. Strangely, this problem is unique to Rose's--none of the other bottles in my liquor cabinet leak. Also, Rose's sweet lime juice is just gross. It seems to be an unnecessary holdover from a time when fresh limes were unavailable.
This reminds me of the story of the leaky bottle of Pimms that so ruined our punting trip up Isis last week-end. My scout back at New College had to wash my sub-fusc for ages just to get the stickiness out. What a horrid mess that was.
I could get you an awesome bottle of grenadine in futuristic aluminum next time I take a trip. It will not leak, because it is designed for children. It might not look very swanky though.
