Health Benefits
The Blue Motorcycle cocktail is made up of vodka, blue curacao, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice.
- Vodka is made from distilled grains or potatoes and distilled water. It has a neutral flavor, so it can be combined with other ingredients to make various cocktails. A typical serving size of vodka is one shot or 1 1/2 ounces (45ml), but it can be consumed in more significant amounts depending on your preference.
- Pineapple juice is an excellent source of vitamin C and manganese, as well as other vitamins and minerals such as magnesium and potassium. It also contains bromelain, which helps digestion by breaking down proteins in food during the digestion process, thus reducing bloating after meals. The bromelain content also helps reduce inflammation caused by arthritis if taken regularly over time in small doses.
- Cranberry juice contains antioxidant compounds called anthocyanins, which are known to help prevent cancer cell growth by inhibiting tumor formation by slowing down cell division rate when consumed regularly over time; however, more research needs to be done before
