Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ounce Grenadine
- 1.5 ounces Vodka
- 0.75 ounce Blue Curaçao
- 1 ounce Pineapple juice
- 0.25 ounce Simple syrup
- 1 cup Ice
- 1 piece Maraschino cherry
Instructions
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
Add the vodka, pineapple juice, and simple syrup to the shaker and shake vigorously until well-chilled.
Pour the grenadine into the bottom of a martini glass, ensuring it settles at the base to form the red layer.
Using the back of a spoon, slowly strain the vodka and pineapple juice mixture over the grenadine layer to create the white middle layer. Pour carefully to prevent the layers from mixing.
Rinse the shaker, then add Blue Curaçao and a splash of water. Shake briefly to dilute slightly.
Use the back of a spoon again to gently layer the Blue Curaçao over the white layer, completing the blue top layer.
Garnish with a maraschino cherry on a cocktail pick and serve immediately.
