The thought of pitchers and catchers reporting to AZ for spring training tomorrow put me in the mood for a tropical fruity girl drink so here is what I concocted this evening. I am calling it the Tropitini and it is delicious, refreshing and makes me want to move to Belize or Cancun or someplace tropical. Whip some up and review my recipe please.
1 ounce of Malibu coconut rum
1 ounce of 3 Olives orange vodka
2 ounces of pineapple juice
½ ounce of grenadine
Shake all but the grenadine with ice for at least 30 seconds to chill to very, very cold and then strain into a martini glass. Pour the grenadine down the side of the glass so it settles into the bottom of the glass (This is only because it looks tropical and cool). Serve with a stir stick so you can stir the grenadine into the drink. Be careful because these dudes are tasty and go down fast and smooth.

Got an interesting note from one of Ed and friends friends. If you swap the orange vodka and coconut rum to Vanilla vodka the drink is called Pineapple Upside Down. Recipe follows
ReplyDelete2 ounce Stoli Vanil
2 ounce pineapple juice
1/2 ounce grenadine
Follow same directions as original recipe.
