• 2 oz white or coconut rum

3. Measure out all of the rest of your ingredients with a shot glass
4. Mix pineapple and rum in a separate glass.
5. In an additional glass mix water and blue curacao

Rainbow in a shot

Do you prefer your drinks in short form? Try Tipsy Bartender’s Rainbow Shots instead.

What you’ll need:

• 1 oz Coconut rum
• .5 oz blue raspberry vodka
• 1 oz pineapple juice
• 1 splash grenadine
• Shot glasses
• Bar tools

Once again a layered shot like this takes a little extra time and care, so follow the instructions carefully.

1. In an ice-filled glass combine coconut rum and pineapple juice
2. Shake well
3. Strain mix three-quarters of the way into a shot glass
4. Drizzle grenadine into the base of the glass
5. Float blue raspberry vodka on top

Assembling a Bomb Pop can be a bit tricky, but with practice, you’ll have it in no time.

2. Fill the glass with ice
3. Pour half the bottle of Mike’s Hard Lemonade, leaving 1 inch at the top of the glass empty.
4. Carefully add the blue raspberry vodka slowly by pouring it over a spoon.
