Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 oz Midori (melon liqueur)
- 1 oz vodka
- 1 oz pineapple juice
- 2 oz lemon-lime soda (or sparkling water for less sweet)
- Ice cubes
Optional Garnish
- Maraschino cherry (“Grinch heart”)
- Green sugar rim (for rimming the glass)
Instructions
- Fill the shaker: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice to chill the mixture while you prepare the drink.
- Add ingredients: Pour 2 oz Midori, 1 oz vodka, and 1 oz pineapple juice into the shaker with the ice.
- Shake well: Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously until the mixture is well chilled and combined.
- Strain into glass: Strain the mixture into an ice-filled glass to keep the cocktail cold.
- Top with soda: Carefully add 2 oz lemon-lime soda (or sparkling water) on top for a fizzy finish.
- Garnish and serve: Add a maraschino cherry on top as the “Grinch heart.” Optionally, rim the glass with green sugar before pouring the cocktail for extra festive flair. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- Make it stronger by swapping the lemon-lime soda for prosecco.
- To turn it into a mocktail, use melon syrup combined with soda instead of the liqueur.
- Rim the glass with green sugar for an extra festive presentation.
