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."
