Equipment

Ingredients
  

garnish

  • 1 Strawberry
  • 1 TB Clear Corn Syrup
  • 1 TB Shredded Coconut
  • 1 Mini Marshmallow This ingredient would be instead of the corn syrup and coconut
  • 1 Toothpick Cut in Half for the marshmallow
  • 1 Drop Green Food Coloring this is totally optional - the midori makes the drink green but just one little drop makes it so much prettier

Instructions
 

  • Fill the cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
  • Add Midori, Vodka, Malibu Rum and Pineapple
  • Add 1-2 drops of Green Food Coloring
  • Fill your cocktail glass with Ice
  • Shake for 15 Seconds then pour in your drink 3/4 of the way to the top
  • Top off your cocktail with seltzer water
  • Attach your strawberry to the edge of your cocktail
  • Add a cute straw

Garnish

  • Clean and dry your strawberry and cut off the stem
  • Slice halfway through the bottom so you can attach it to the edge of your glass
  • Push the coconut into the syrup and make it look like a ball
  • If you prefer to skip the above and just use a mini marshmallow just cut your toothpick in half and skewer a mini marshmallow and stick it into the tip of the strawberry. Either one looks super cute!

Numerous Cocktails

  • For two drinks double the above measurements in your shaker
  • If you're having a party use a pitcher and pre mix all the ingredients except for the seltzer. Keep this mix covered in the fridge
  • Pack each glass with ice and pour the mix 3/4 of the way in each glass and top off each glass with a splash of seltzer. Make sure you add a lot of ice to each drink because this cocktail contains a lot of booze and if you're not shaking it it will be more potent. We don't want your guests falling out of their chairs!
  • Garnish each drink with a straw and a strawberry
  • Happy Holidays!
