Description
A sweet, tropical layered shot that tastes just like a pineapple upside-down cake! This easy-to-make dessert drink brings vanilla, pineapple, and cherry together in one gorgeous, party-ready glass. Perfect for celebrations, girls’ night, or whenever you’re craving something fun and flavorful.
Ingredients
1 oz pineapple juice (chilled)
1 oz vanilla vodka
A splash of grenadine
1 maraschino cherry (for garnish)
Ice (for shaking)
Instructions
Add vanilla vodka and chilled pineapple juice to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
Shake well until cold and frothy.
Strain into a tall, clear shot glass.
Slowly drizzle a splash of grenadine down the inside of the glass—it’ll sink and create a red layer.
Top with a maraschino cherry for that signature upside-down cake look.
Notes
No vanilla vodka? Use plain vodka and add a drop of vanilla extract.
Mocktail version: Replace vodka with extra pineapple juice and a splash of vanilla syrup.
Serving a crowd? Batch the vodka and juice, then layer grenadine in each glass just before serving.
Want more cake flavor? Try a drop of almond extract in the mix!
Best served fresh to preserve the gorgeous layers.
