Feeling grinchy? Just want a colorful cocktail recipe to brighten the days? We’ve got a fun one from Buoy House Beach Resort in St. Thomas.
If you’re anything like us, you want to be at the table for two shown above. It’s a beach-y dream set on the U.S. Virgin Island of St. Thomas. But if you can’t get there, you can whip up a drink they’re enjoying there as we speak.
We don’t always like a themed cocktail but this one is nailing it. From the color scheme to the clever garnish, it’s a true homage to the classic holiday story. Who knows, maybe you can whip up a batch for dessert for your next holiday party.
Read on for the full recipe, sent straight from paradise.
The Grinch
There’s a lot to like about this cocktail, perhaps most the “three cherries too small” touch, a reference to the famed heart scene in the Dr. Seuss classic. We also like the smart mix of blue and yellow to make green.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 ounces vodka
- 1 ounce Blue Curaçao
- 2 ounces pineapple juice
- 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
- Sugar (for rim)
- 3 cherries for garnish
Method:
- Rim a chilled glass with sugar.
- In a shaker with ice, combine vodka, Blue Curaçao, pineapple juice, and lime juice and shake vigorously until cold.
- Strain into the glass over fresh ice and garnish with three cherries.
