Instructions
Serve this drink straight up or on the rocks. Even blended with ice works. However, know that if you have this on the rocks or blended with ice, that the drink will be watered down a bit from the ice.
No matter which way you make this drink, garnish with melon balls, maybe a slice of lime, or orange slice, and a few fresh mint leaves.
Straight up Cocktail. Add the ice cubes, vodka, melon liqueur, orange juice, and pineapple to a cocktail shaker. Shake well to combine. Strain into a chilled martini glass or a pretty cocktail glass.
Over Rocks Drink. Fill the glass with ice cubes. Add the vodka, melon liqueur, orange juice, and pineapple. Stir to combine with a stirrer or straw. When making this drink over ice, I will sometimes serve in a highball glass or a mug.
Blended Drink. Add the ice cubes, vodka, melon liqueur, orange juice, and pineapple to a blender and blend until the mixture is slushy. Pour into a serving glass.
