Vodka
The backbone of any self-respecting co*cktail, vodka is the chameleon of the spirit world, happily taking a backseat to allow the flavors of the mixers to shine. The 2 oz measure is perfect for just the right punch; too much, and your co*cktail becomes a tipsy typhoon, too little, and it's a fruit juice in disguise.
Emma Rose
Pineapple Juice
4 oz of the tropical elixir gives the co*cktail its fruity backbone and slightly sweet profile. Pineapple juice is a must for the Blonde Bombshell; it's what gives it the 'blonde' aspect, after all! If you skimp on it, you'll miss out on the tropical vacation vibe.
Mary Mitkina
Lemon Juice
A zesty twist of 1 oz lemon juice rounds out the sweetness with some tartness, creating a more complex profile. It's like the friend who tells you when you have something stuck in your teeth - brutally necessary. No lemon juice leads to a cloyingly sweet experience.
Alex Green
Honey
Sweeter than your high school sweetheart and half as clingy, the 0.5 oz of honey adds depth and viscosity. If you omit it, the co*cktail just doesn't have the same smooth talker vibe. It's a natural sweetener that adds sophistication without the granular rebellion of sugar.
Emma Rose
Ice
A full cup keeps the drink icy, which is essential for chilling and diluting the co*cktail to perfection. No ice, and you're basically sipping lukewarm fruit soup. Yuck!
Mary Mitkina
Maraschino Cherry
This little gem is the finishing touch, a nod to classic co*cktails and a wink to your taste buds. Forget it, and you'll feel like you left your purse at the bar – something's just missing.
Alex Green
Lemon Wheel
The garnish isn't just about looks; it adds a hint of lemon aroma with every sip, enhancing the sensory experience. Without it, the co*cktail still tastes great, but it's like going out without your earrings – you're just not fully dressed.

Add your ingredients to the shaker first, then ice. Fill it up to ¾ of its capacity to ensure enough space for shaking. Hold the shaker with both hands (one on the top and one on the bottom) and shake vigorously. The shake should come from your shoulders, not your wrists.
Learn everything on how to shakePlace your chosen strainer on top of the shaker or mixing glass, ensuring a secure fit. Pour the co*cktail into a glass through the strainer, which will catch solid ingredients and ice. If double straining, hold the fine mesh strainer between the shaker and the glass.
