Where it came from
Joke-name shots and cocktails travelled the same circuit. This drink is part of the family of Pussy-named shooters that includes the Wet Pussy, the Spicy Wet Pussy and the Canadian Pussy. The recipe stretches a Wet Pussy into a tall cocktail with three liqueurs and three juices.
The version above is the most common pub pour. Some bartenders skip the sour mix and lean harder on apple juice for a simpler build.
What it tastes like
Strawberry on the lead, banana mid, melon round through, orange and apple juice carrying the body. Sour mix at the back keeps the drink from going syrupy. Sweet but balanced.
Plenty of ice is the only thing keeping this drink from being a sugar bomb.
