PEARL HARBOR
1 ounce vodka
½ ounce melon liquor (Midori)
5 ounces pineapple juice
The 71st 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.
