A to Z Challenge Blog 2021 Cocktails A to Z From the letter P

Posted bySusanne MatthewsPosted inUncategorized

Welcome to the third week of April. Wow! How time flies! Once again this week, I’m waxing nostalgic with the places i want to visit, so I’m taking you back to Hawaii.

Whenever people think of the island state, they see lush foliage, sandy beaches, incredible turquoise blue water, surfers on waves at Waikiki, volcanoes, coconut, pineapple and of course Pearl Harbor

Today, the letter P brings you the Pearl Harbor cocktail, named after the naval base on Oahu.It’s been one of the most popular cocktails in the state since the 1980s. With it’s light, delightful fruity taste, it’s the perfect summer drink. The greenness of the drink depends on how much melon liqueur you us. More it’s greener, more pineapple juice, it’s not.

Make It Your Own

Ingredients

2 ounces vodka
1 ounce melon liqueur
4 to 5 ounces pineapple juice, to taste
Lemon wedge, garnish
Pineapple wedge, garnish
Maraschino cherry, garnish

Mix It

Pour the vodka and melon liqueur into a short glass filled with ice.

Add pineapple juice.

Stir and serve with a pineapple wedge and cherries.

Now sit back and enjoy a little Elvis with your drink.

Hi! I live in Eastern Ontario. I'm married with three adult children and five wonderful grandchildren. I prefer warm weather, and sunshine but winter gives me time to write. If I’m listening to music, it will be something from the 1960s or 1970s. I enjoy action movies, romantic comedies, but I draw the line at slasher flicks and horror. I love science fiction and fantasy as well. I love to read; I immerse myself in the text and, as my husband says, the house could fall down around me, and I’d never notice. My preferences are as varied as there are genres, but nothing really beats a good romance, especially one that is filled with suspense. I love historical romance too, and have read quite a few of those. If I’m watching television, you can count on it being a suspense — I’m not a fan of reality TV, sit-coms, or game shows. Writing gives me the most pleasure. I love creating characters that become real and undergo all kinds of adventures. It never ceases to amaze me how each character can take on its own unique personality; sometimes, they grow very different from the way I pictured them! Inspiration comes from all around me; imagination has no bounds. If I can think it, imagine it, I can write it!
