Notes

  • Use a tall shot glass for this recipe. It helps show off the layers.
  • Be sure to slowly pour in the grenadine down the side of the glass so that you get the layered effect.
  • For a more tropical flavor, try substituting vanilla vodka with Malibu rum.
  • This can also be made into a cocktail drink. Use 3-4 ounces of vanilla vodka , 3-4 ounces of pineapple juice and then 1/2 ounce grenadine. Pour into a glass filled with ice to serve.
