How to Make a Pipeline Cocktail

Named after one of the world's fiercest surf breaks, the pipeline cocktail is actually really smooth and not at all brutal. In fact, this drink resembles a peaceful day out on the lake, drifting on a pontoon boat, more so than a day getting pummeled in the surf.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
