How to Make Homemade Liquid Marijuana Drink

To prepare Liquid Marijuana drink, combine the rums and liqueur in a shaker filled with ice, then the blue curaçao, sweet and sour mix, and pineapple juice and shake well. Pour over ice into a glass and garnish with a piece of pineapple or a cherry. Perfect for parties or sipping on a calm evening.

Ingredients

3/4 oz Blue Curaçao: For that brilliant blue color and sweet orange taste
1/2 oz Midori Melon Liqueur: The sweet melon flavor provides some of the brilliant green color.
1/2 oz Coconut Rum: The coconut rum gives it a tropical coconut flavor which compliments the island vibes of the cocktail.
1/2 oz Spiced Rum: This adds a little spice to balance out the sweetness.
3 oz Pineapple Juice: Adds a delicious sweetness and tropical backdrop.
1/2 oz Sour Mix: Sour mix adds a sour punch, balancing out the sweetness in the rest of the ingredients.
Ice Cubes: A necessary ingredient as every drink involving whiskey must always be served chilled.
Maraschino Cherry or Pineapple Slice: For garnish and a little more sweetness.

Instructions

Chill glassware: Use a shaker and pack it with ice cubes to make the drink cold enough.
Mix Ingredients: Add the blue curaçao, Midori melon liqueur, coconut rum, spiced rum, pineapple juice, and sour mix to the shaker with ice.
Shake Well: Cover the shaker and shake it hard for 10–15 seconds or until combined and cold.
Pour and Garnish: Strain the drink contents over a glass with some ice, being sure to only pour the liquid in Garnish with a cherry or slice of pineapple on top.
Serve: This tropical delight is ready to pour and enjoy.

Serving Suggestions

Ideal Occasions: Best For beach parties, tropical-themed parties, or just a refreshing drink on a hot day in summer.
Glassware Options: I like to use a hurricane glass or tiki mug to lean into the tropical vibes.
Enhancements: Squeeze in some lime juice for the citrus side effect or some mint for more aromatic notes.
Pairing Suggestions: Grilled seafood, spicy Caribbean dishes, or tropical fruit skewers.
Make it Non-Alcoholic: Replace the spirit-based ingredients with some non-alcoholic spirits or flavored syrups and you have the same drink minus the alcohol.

Tips and Variations

Adjusting Sweetness Levels: Play around with varying amounts of sour mix or pineapple juice to get your desired levels of sweetness and tartness.
Color Variations: Add more Midori Melon Liqueur for a darker green shade or decrease it slightly for a lighter one.
Ice Note: Crushed or large ice to reduce diluting
Garnish Swaps: Change garnishes to a lime wedge, mint sprig, or edible flowers to suit your taste
Infusion Ideas: If you’re looking to elevate the flavor profile of the pineapple, try infusing the juice with fresh herbs or spices, such as basil or ginger.
