Q&A

Can I make a non-alcoholic version of this shot?
Yes! Substitute the Malibu and Midori with coconut water and melon syrup for a delicious mocktail.

What can I use instead of Midori Melon Liqueur?
You can use any melon-flavored liqueur or even a melon syrup for a non-alcoholic version.

How long can I store the prepared shots?
These shots are best served immediately. If necessary, you can prepare the mixture without cream a few hours in advance and add the cream just before serving.

Can I use almond milk instead of heavy cream?
Yes, almond milk can be used, though it will be less creamy than using heavy cream or coconut cream.

What’s the best way to mix the ingredients without a shaker?
You can use a mason jar with a tight lid or stir the ingredients vigorously in a mixing glass.

Can I use fresh pineapple juice?

Is there a way to make this shot less sweet?
You can reduce the amount of Midori Melon Liqueur or add a splash of soda water to balance the sweetness.

Can I serve this as a cocktail instead of a shot?
Yes, simply pour the mixture into a larger glass over ice and garnish accordingly.

What’s the ideal temperature for serving these shots?
