Notes

The Story Behind the Name The Liquid Marijuana Shot gets its name from its vibrant, bright green color, which is reminiscent of the cannabis plant. However, there is no actual marijuana in the drink. It’s a playful and memorable name for a sweet, multi-liquor shooter that became popular in the college and club scenes.
Tips for a Perfect Shot
  • The Color is Key: The beautiful green color comes from the combination of the yellow melon liqueur and the blue Blue Curaçao. Adjusting the ratio can change the hue to your liking.
  • Make It a Cocktail: To turn this shot into a full-sized cocktail, simply double the recipe and serve it in a tall glass over ice. You can even top it with a splash of soda water for some fizz.
  • Customize Your Flavor: This recipe is highly customizable. You can swap the pineapple juice for orange or cranberry juice to create a new flavor profile.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
  • Is this a very strong shot? The Liquid Marijuana Shot is a very potent drink. The combination of four different liquors gives it a powerful kick, and the sweet, fruity flavors can mask its strength, so it should be consumed responsibly.
  • What does a Liquid Marijuana Shot taste like? It's a sweet and fruity shot with prominent tropical notes of melon, pineapple, and coconut, followed by a warm, spicy finish from the spiced rum.
