Bora Bora

For Valentine's Day I decided that instead of going out to an expensive restaurant that I would make Whitney dinner. So I decided to make Chinese which I am pretty sure is one of her favorite foods. So I decided to make Kung Pao chicken. Well I wanted a drink that would go well with it and decided on the Bora Bora. I had never made this before and didn't know how it tasted, but it turned out to be one of our favorites. It is contains pineapple juice, lemon juice, grenadine, and passion fruit juice. You can use a cherry and/or a pineapple slice as a garnish as well. Finding straight up passion fruit juice proved a bit difficult, but we finally found one that Welch's makes. The recipe is below. It tasted great with the spicy food and is great all by itself.

Bora Bora

5 oz Pineapple juice
3 oz Passion Fruit juice
1/2 oz lemon juice
1/2 oz grenadine

Put juices in shaker with ice and then strain into a high ball glass.
