Shots! Shots! Shots!

Contents at a Glance
Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
Pineapple upside-down cakes are delicious, and so is this shot that pays tribute to the infamous dessert.
· 1 oz. Vanilla Vodka· 1 oz. Pineapple Juice
· 1 splash of Grenadine
Pour vanilla vodka and pineapple juice in a shaker full of ice. Shake vigorously to mix. Pour into a shot glass and add a splash of grenadine. Enjoy!
This is a fairly flexible recipe, as other (similar) flavors of vodka may be used to achieve a similar, tasty result. The recipe is also excellent with the substitution of vanilla or pineapple rum.
As an added bonus, this shot recipe translates well into drink form; simply triple (or quadruple, etc..) the recipe and sip as a cocktail.
