Melon liqueur — Our go-to brand is Midori Melon liqueur.
Coconut rum — A staple for all tiki drinks.
Blue Curaçao — A must-have for your home bar since it’s also used in a Blue Motorcycle, Fish Bowl Drink and so much more.
Sweet and sour mix — Purchase it pre-made or learn how to make it from scratch here.
Pineapple juice — Bottled is fine, but fresh is always best.
Equipment Needed to Make the Liquid Marijuana Shot
Jigger — To measure each liquid ingredient.
Cocktail shaker — To mix and chill.
Some cocktail recipes don’t call for a shaker and have you pour the ingredients directly in the glass. However, we prefer an evenly mixed drink.

Recipe Notes and Tips
To make a big batch:
None of the ingredients are carbonated or delicate. So you can mix all the ingredients in advance in large quantities.
Just make sure to store the mixture in the fridge and take it out right before serving.
A good party batch quantity would be a cup of each ingredient, evenly mixed.
To make as a cocktail:
Simply, fill a glass with some ice, Then, pour in the same measurements as making a shot. (Or double it up depending on how strong you want the cocktail.)
Finally, top off the glass with sparkling water, tonic water, or lemon lime soda.
