For a simple mixed drink with the flavor of the tropics, the Pearl Harbor is an excellent choice. It calls for vodka, although some people will ask for pineapple vodka. Personally, I find that is an overkill of pineapple and masks the melon flavoring to the point where its almost unrecognizable. Bartenders, add this drink to your list of "drinks to know."
Ingredients:
- 2 oz vodka
- 1 oz melon liqueur
- pineapple juice
- maraschino cherry for garnish
- pineapple chunks for garnish
Preparation:
- Pour the vodka and melon liqueur into an old-fashioned glass filled with ice.
- Fill with pineapple juice.
- Garnish with a maraschino cherry and pineapple chunk on a cocktail skewer.
