Tips For Making A Liquid Marijuana Cocktail

  • To go extra well with the weed theme, carve your pineapple slice garnish into the shape of a marijuana leaf!

  • Some people love this tropical drink extra strong, and some like it to taste mostly like pineapple juice. Try playing with the quantities of the liquors and pineapple juice to find your perfect combination.

  • You can use other Triple Sec in place of Blue Curaçao to achieve the same flavor, but the Blue Curaçao is crucial if you want that beautiful blue-green tinge.

  • Use freshly squeezed pineapple juice for a brighter, fresher taste.
