Notes
- Customize the intensity by adjusting the liqueur proportions for a stronger or milder cocktail experience.
- Swap vodka with white rum or tequila to create unique flavor variations that match personal preferences.
- Opt for natural green food coloring if you want a more vibrant green hue without changing the cocktail’s taste profile.
- Consider using fresh pineapple juice instead of store-bought for a more authentic, refreshing tropical twist.
