What Is A Liquid Marijuanas Shot
Liquid Marijuanas Shot is made with a combination of spiced rum, coconut rum, melon liqueur, blue Curaçao, pineapple juice, and sweet and sour mix.
It tastes sweet, tropical, and fruity.
Even though the name makes you think otherwise, the ingredients used are of relatively low-proof spirits, making it a low ABV shot when compared to other shots.
Its prominent green color is due to melon liqueur, which is green by itself and the color is dominant in this cocktail shot.
When you add blue Curaçao into the mix, it just becomes a deeper green.
Is There Marijuana In Liquid Marijuanas Shot?
Despite its name, there is no marijuana or cannabis or any psychoactive compound such as THC in the Liquid Marijuanas Shot.
It’s named as such purely for the cosmetic green hue that the drink has.
Ingredients
- Spiced rum: The spiced rum helps to impart some complexity and sweetness to the flavor of the cocktail shot.
- Coconut rum: Malibu or other brands that you have in your home bar can be used here.
- Melon liqueur: Midori is commonly used here and gives the drink a nice shade of dominant green that’s beautiful and attractive.
- Blue Curaçao: Adding blue Curaçao deepens the green hue of the drink and also imparts some subtle bitter aftertaste.
- Pineapple juice: It helps to provide the sweet and fruity flavor that makes the shot so delicious!
