Ingredients list:
- Pineapple Juice
- Grenadine
- Vanilla Vodka (whipped cream vodka can be substituted)
- Maraschino cherries (for garnish if desired)
Tips For Pineapple Shots:
- Choose a filtered clear pineapple juice to get the clarity of results you see here.
- Shake the vodka and pineapple juice in your cocktail shaker with ice to blend the flavors, add aration and chill the shot.
- Chilling the glasses is really not necessary if you shake the drink. Shots are small and will not sit for long.
- Use the grenadine to add a layer of red in the bottom of the drink. Drizzle the grenadine syrup over the back of a spoon and down the side of the glass to minimize diffusion.
- Use the tall shot glasses to really show off the clarity and layering.
