Very very good. The color was not appealing. But the taste was amazing. I added a little bit more of cranberry juice. The one I got was not a good red. I shaked it in a shaker with ice.

    These were a HIT!!! Summer in a glass! I made the first batch with Grey Goose vodka and the second with Absolute Vanilla Vodka. The girls liked the vanilla better and the guys liked the regular vodka better. I put a pineapple ring in each glass with crushed iced and muddled it well. I mixed the liquor in a shaker and then poured it in the glass and added a splash of Cran-raspberry. These are a crowd pleaser!

    Wonderful! Very tropically fruity with a wonderful hint of almond! What could be better? I love this drink : ) I served with a fresh pineapple slice. Thanks so much, Nick's Mom!

    Very yummy and perfect for a summer night! I have to remember this one! It was fruity without being too much. Sometimes drinks with pineapple juice are just too sweet - but this one balanced out nicely. Made for the Babes of ZWT4.

    Hmmm, this is good, but fairly weak (this doesn't affect the rating, just to let future bartenders know ). The flavors blend well, but . . . I don't know, there is something it needs. We made it with ice.

    This was lovely & fruity, I only added a smidge of amaretto as I'm not too keen on it and a bit more cranberry juice, very refreshing drink. Made for ZWT 4

    This is a very tropical type drink, I tried without ice and felt I really needed the ice to tone it down just slightly. My DH felt it was a tad too sweet for his taste, but I didn't have any problem with it. Fun drink - love the title. Made for the ZWT4.
