🌴 What Is a Hand Grenade Cocktail?
The Hand Grenade is a vibrant, melon-flavored cocktail that blends:
Vodka – for smooth bite
Gin – for botanical depth
White rum – for tropical warmth
Midori melon liqueur – for that signature neon green
Pineapple juice – for sweet, tangy balance
Served ice-cold in a tall glass, it’s like a tropical vacation with a kick.
And while it looks like a sugary tourist trap?
It’s stronger than it tastes — a true “one-and-you’re-done” drink.
