ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 ounces Absolut mandarin vodka
• pineapple juice (filled with)

directions

1. Add ingredients and shake over ice.
2. *The taste is very tropical tasting. Be careful you do not taste the alcohol but it's definately there!
3. When it says filled with, I always put juice until 3/4 of the shaker. Or until half the shaker if the glace is not there yet.
4. GourmetMomma did it in a Highball glass. She used 1/2 cup pineapple juice and 1 ounce of cranberry juice.

It took me while to figure out what this tasted like to me....and then I had it: Children's Aspirin! My mom used to grind up those orange and white tablets and add water to make it go down easier and this tastes just like it. ROFL. I naturally find this adult "medicine" more attractive. This was my first time drinking mandarin vodka...judgement pending on whether I like it. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Boomie! HA!

Terrific! I used the 1 1/2 oz. vodka with 2 oz. pineapple and 1 oz. cranberry juice in a rocks glass. I loved this drink!

DH and I really enjoyed this. I just mixed in a highball glass. I measured the vodka, added 1/2 of a six oz. can of pineapple juide and just enough cranberry to give it a pretty blush color. YUM! This could become a new summer favorite. Be careful--it can sneak up on you. Thanks for posting Boomette.

i'd like to give this 5 stars, it ended up being quite yummy. however, the directions are a little vague. i was unsure of how much pineapple juice to use. i looked up the reference site (drinksmixer.com) and learned that this should be made in a highball. that helped. after several experiments, i settled on 1/2 cup pineapple juice and 1 ounce of cranberry. (updated rating based on recipe correction. i'll give it 5 stars as i've made several more since reviewing)
