Instructions
1. Fill your shot glass half full with the melon flavored liqueur, approximately one-half of an ounce and add it to a glass filled with ice. The alcohol will settle in the middle of the glass, but don’t worry because you’ll be stirring it later.
2. Add one shot of (one ounce) of the alcohol. This will likely settle in the middle or sides of the glass as well.
3. Pour the pineapple juice over the alcohol until it fills the glass. Depending on the size of the glass you use, this will be 4-8 ounces of pineapple juice.
4. Stir the ingredients vigorously until well combined. The drink should be pale yellow if you’ve stirred it correctly.
5. Garnish with a piece of pineapple and one cherry if you like. Some recipes omit the garnish, but most bartenders serve it with a piece or two of fruit.
