PEARL HARBOR

PEARL HARBOR

1 ounce vodka

½ ounce melon liquor (Midori)

5 ounces pineapple juice

The 71^st anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor is today. The tragedy in Hawaii sent America spiraling into World War II. Like most big events, there’s a cocktail named after it. After making one, I think it’s a shame that this delightful cocktail is associated with such a dreadful event.

The PEARL HARBOR is easy to make and wow your friends with. Just put the three delicious ingredients listed above into a tall cocktail glass that is half-filled with crushed ice, stir well, and garnish with fruit. I chose to use raspberries, but a slice of pineapple and a maraschino cherry would be ideal.

Hubby really liked the PEARL HARBOR cocktail and said it tasted “like the lips of a Polynesian Princess.” The cocktail definitely had a soft taste to it. The full pineapple flavor instantly reminded me of Hawaii and I made a mental note to order it in Hawaii if I ever get back there again. The PEARL HARBOR just screamed sunshine. It also reminded me that I love Midori. The melon liquor has the tang of melon without the sweet. It makes any cocktail great and this one is no exception. It’s something you should always remember.
