Grinch Shot

Mary
Grinch Christmas Shots with melon liqueur adds a delightfully fruity flavor while the coconut rum adds a harder kick with as much flavor to give.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Ounces Midori
  • 4 Ounces Coconut Rum
  • 4 Maraschino Cherries optional

Instructions
 

  • Add the Midori and coconut rum to a cocktail shaker.
  • Give it a light shake and pour evenly into 4 shot glasses (more if your glasses are smaller). 
  • Remove the stems of the cherries and place one in the bottom of each shot glass (you can do this before pouring, if desired). Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use smaller shot glasses as the mixture will still be perfectly even either way. 
  • These can be made in advance and stored in the fridge, in a sealed container. Of course, outside the fridge would be fine as well, but I feel the better outcome is when the ingredients have remained chilled. It just tastes fresher. If making in advance, do not add the cherries. Only add those when ready to serve.
  • If you’re not a fan of coconut rum, you can swap it out for another clear alcohol, but it’s important to note that this change can drastically alter the taste of the shot. 
  • If you can’t find Midori, another green melon liqueur should be fine. Green Hawaiian Punch or green prepared Kool-Aid has been a hit as well, although these two options make for a much weaker, sweeter shot.
  • If your ingredients are chilled and you want cold shots, simply pop a couple chunks of ice in your shaker and use a strainer to pour the shots so the ice doesn’t come with it.
