This tribute to The Hulk is pictured above. Side note: I met Lou Ferrigno (the actor who played The Hulk) at Comic-Con about a decade ago.

• ½ ounce Malibu Coconut Rum
• ¼ ounce Blue Curacao
• ¾ ounce Midori
• 1 oz Tito’s Vodka

Place all liquors into a shaker, shake hard two-to-three times and poor over ice into a Collins glass. Top off with pineapple juice and a splash of Sprite

I love the color on this one.
