Notes
Ingredient Notes and Shopping Tips
- Gin: I like Seagrams which is a London dry gin. It is mellow with notes of juniper and lemon which complement this cocktail perfectly. If you're not a big fan of gin, you could also use vodka. Bombay and Sapphire are good choices too.
- Pineapple Juice: Look for small cans of pineapple juice in the juice aisle.
- Grenadine: Originally made from pomegranates this syrup adds sweetness and gorgeous color.
- Lemon Juice: Use freshly squeezed for the best results.
- Get the Most Juice From Your Lemons: Get the most juice from lemons by rolling them on the counter and then microwaving them for 15-30 seconds. Using a fork to poke the flesh can also help if you don't have a juicer.
- Measure Correctly: One shot glass equals around 1.5 ounces. You can also use measuring spoons. One tablespoon=one ounce.
- Adjust the Sweetness: Add more or less grenadine to taste.
- No Cocktail Shaker? No problem! Use a mason jar instead.
- Warning: Real azalea plants are toxic, do not use them as a garnish or around food.
