Detailed description
Pineapple Upside Down Cake is a dessert shots built around vodka. Tastes like dessert and photographs like candy, which is basically perfect for the brand.
The build centers on 3/4 oz vanilla vodka, 1/2 oz pineapple juice, and 1/4 oz grenadine. In the glass, vanilla and pineapple create a cake-batter sweetness, and the grenadine drifts in with a cherry-like finish that really does suggest dessert.
It comes together in 3 minutes and is served in a shot glass. A well-chilled glass helps the sweeter flavors stay focused and keeps the texture from feeling heavy.
