Mr Kipling’s Love Juice is a playful little shooter that sits firmly in the sweet, liqueur-led corner of cocktail culture. It doesn’t have a widely documented origin story, so you can treat it as a modern, party-friendly creation: short, punchy, and built to deliver a quick hit of dessert-like flavour in a shot glass. The name sets the tone—cheeky, indulgent, and not taking itself too seriously.
On the palate, you’ll find amaretto doing most of the heavy lifting with its rich, sugary almond character. A dash of cherry brandy adds a bright, jammy cherry note that deepens the sweetness and gives the shot a fruitier edge. The dash of pineapple juice lifts everything with a sharp, tropical tang, keeping the liqueurs from feeling too heavy and adding a quick, juicy finish.
This is one to serve when you want something easygoing and crowd-pleasing—think house parties, pre-drinks, or as a fun “dessert” shot after a meal. It suits anyone who prefers sweet, fruity flavours over dry or spirit-forward drinks, and it works especially well when you’re lining up a round for a group.

Cocktail Colin says:
Cherry brandy leads with bright, jammy fruit, while amaretto brings a thick almond sweetness and the pineapple juice adds a quick tropical tang that flashes and fades in a shot-glass sip. It works because the pineapple’s acidity lifts the liqueurs and keeps the finish from feeling cloying, making it best for sweet-toothed drinkers who like dessert-like shooters.
