A Splash of Nash is a playful bomb-style cocktail that combines tart cranberry juice and light soda water with a sweet shot of Midori and crème de banane. Once dropped, the mix becomes fruity, bright, and lightly sparkling — a fun, fast drink with a tropical twist.
Pour cranberry juice and soda water into a highball glass. Fill a shot glass with Midori and crème de banane. Drop the shot glass into the highball glass and drink immediately.
Served as a classic bomb shot: cranberry juice and soda water in a highball glass, with the Midori–banana liqueur mixture in a separate shot glass. No garnish is traditionally used so the focus stays on the drop-and-drink experience.
Pairs well with light bar snacks, fresh fruit, or simple appetizers. The fruitiness complements salty or crunchy bites.
The drink’s playful nature and vibrant colors are inspired by the fun, high-energy drinking culture associated with Nashville nightlife.
Ideal for parties, music nights, group celebrations, or any moment that calls for a fast, fun, interactive drink.
The first impact is sweet and fruity from the Midori and banana liqueur, quickly balanced by the tartness of cranberry and the effervescence of soda water
Loud, fun, and carefree — a cocktail made for people who enjoy playful drinking rituals.
Swap soda water with lemon-lime soda for a sweeter version, or add a splash of lime juice to sharpen the flavor.
