• 1 cup partially crushed ice
• 1 shot Monin raspberry syrup
• 1 shot pineapple vodka
• 1 shot Torani blue raspberry syrup

Instructions 

1. In a clean champagne glass, pour in the red Monin raspberry syrup.
2. Fill your glass with ice all the way to the top.
3. Next, add in the shot of pineapple vodka. (the vodka and Monin will mix slightly)
4. When you’re ready to serve, top off with a shot of Torani blue raspberry syrup and serve.
