Drew Record takes inspiration from two classic neon green disco drinks: TGI Fridays’ June Bug and the Japanese Slipper. This low-ABV spin, according to Record, “speaks to the flavor memories of both of these recipes, and mingles” the best elements of both.

Editor's Note
Fluffy Pineapple Juice
This recipe calls for a “centrifugal” or “masticating”-style juicer. Chop the top and bottom off of a large ripe pineapple. Remove the skin (some small pieces of skin will be fine in the juicer). Cut into quarters or eighths lengthwise, depending on how big the pineapple is. Leave 50 to 60 percent of the core attached to the pieces (as it will add to the fluffy structure of the juice) and process with the juicer. One pineapple yields approximately 200 milliliters of juice.
