One of my favorite drinks of all time is the Pineapple Upside Down Cake. I've had it both as a shot and a drink. I primarily like it as a drink because it is so DELICIOUS that I want to savor it for as long as possible! It really tastes more like dessert with a subtle kick than drinking alcohol. I may also be partial to it because of the great memories with friends that come to mind. In leui of the new year, I thought I would share the recipe.
For the Shot:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 oz pineapple juice (chilled)
- 1/2 oz vanilla vodka
- splash of grenadine
Directions:
- Mix pineapple juice and vanilla vodka in a shaker with ice until chilled. Strain into shot glass.
- Add a splash of grenadine and let settle to the bottom.
- Serve and enjoy!
For the Drink:
Ingredients:
- 3 oz (1 double shot) of vanilla vodka
- 5 to 13oz pineapple juice (chilled), depending on the size of the glass/your taste
- splash of grenadine
Directions:
- Fill a tall glass with ice.
- Mix vodka and pineapple juice in a shaker. I would suggest tasting before straining into glass to see if the drink is strong enough/too strong for your taste. Add more pineapple juice if too strong or more vodka if not strong enough. That's the beauty of mixing at home - you can mix until it tastes perfect!
- Strain into glass.
- Add a splash of grenadine. Let it settle to the bottom.
- Enjoy!
