Pineapple Upside-down Cake
Bartender interviewer Interested? E-mail editor@otownscene.com
WANTED 6 O-Town Scene Feb. 24, 2011
Equal parts vanilla vodka and pineapple juice. Grenadine
Shaken over ice, and strain into shot glasses, leaving room for a drop of grenadine to finish off the shot.
Sweet, and tastes just like the pineapple upside-down cake Grandma used to make. A nice after-dinner shot everyone can enjoy.
