I know I heard this a lot growing up in the 80s and 90s when Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was the cartoon of choice.

Though we were way too young to have alcohol at that point.

How to Make a Ninja Turtle Shot

Recipe Tips

You can make this cocktail shot in a cocktail shaker and shake it with ice cubes to make it ice cold. In the glass combine coconut rum, melon liquor, and pineapple juice and shake and strain.

For an added layer of fun you can rim the shot glass with the colors of the Ninja Turtles using Blue, Red, Purple, and Orange, yellow sugar. To rim edge of shot glasses you can use simple syrup or icing.

The recipe can be doubled or tripled and served in an old-fashioned glass if you want a regular-size cocktail.

I have seen recipes for a version of this cocktail made with Green Apple Twist Vodka, green berry rush Hawaiian Punch Juice, and lime slice but have not tried it.
