About


If you want to serve a cocktail with a difference, try this one for style. The aroma of fresh marjoram - ''joy of the mountains'' to the ancient Greeks - and the base of fresh pineapple juice, are wonderful together. If you want to give it a bit of a kick, add a touch of vodka to make it a great start to a party.
