Notes

Tips for Making This Drink:
  • This can be served in a martini glass or champagne flute.
  • If you shake this well enough you'll get a frothy top to it which looks stunning on presentation.
  • Always use fresh limes
  • Canned pineapple juice is fine as long as you would be willing to drink it (and enjoy it on its own)
