As the name suggests, we are going to SHAKE this cocktail and then strain it into the glass. To begin, prepare the lemon juice. Take a lemon and cut it in half. Then squeeze both halves and keep the juice to one side to use shortly.
Next, almost fill the shaker with ice cubes. Then, measure out 50 millilitres of tequila, more or less a long splash, and pour it into the shaker. Follow this with 75 millilitres of pineapple juice. And now, add 15 millilitres or a dash of the lemon juice prepared earlier.
Now, secure the lid on the shaker then holding both ends, shake it at and angle for about 20 seconds When you finish, remove the lid and attach the strainer or small sieve to the top.
Present your cocktail
Hold tightly on to the strainer while you gently pour the drink out into the cocktail glass.
To complete the ingredients add just half a teaspoon of grenadine. Now serve your Shaker.

Butterfly

The most difficult and exhausting stroke.

The body is in a prone position.

Involves the dolphin kick with a windmill-like movement of both arms in unison.

When swimming competitively, the swimmer must not swim underwater. The only time a swimmer can swim underwater is the first stroke after the start and each turn.

Breast Stroke

The body is in a prone position.

Involves frog kicking alternates with a simultaneous movement of the arms from a point in front of the head to shoulder level.

When swimming competitively, the swimmer’s head must be kept above the surface of the water at all times.

Crawl

Front or Back

The body is in a prone position.

Involves alternating overarm strokes and the flutter kick.

The head remains in the water, the face alternating from side to side.

Sidestroke

Involves a forward underwater stroke with the body on one side and a scissors kick.

You will need
3 strawberries
¼ watermelon
you might also want:
1 dash of aphrodisiac tincture blend
1 blender
1 spoon
1 knife
1 chopping board
1 glass
1 jug

Watermelon
Cut out a quarter of the watermelon. Chop it into small pieces and add to the blender. Leave in the pips - they’re good for digestion. Watermelon is actually

a vegetable and is part of the cucumber and squash family. It’s an ideal food as it’s fat free and high in energy. It also contains high concentrations of lycopin - an antioxidant which reduces the risk of cancer.

Strawberries
Add 3 strawberries. Strawberries are a member of the rose family and are high in vitamin C.

Blend
Blend the ingredients for 15-20 seconds.

Optional extra
How about adding an aphrodisiac tincture blend to the glass before you pour. It contains nettle, ginkgo, saw palmetto, damiana, and dong quai - a combination that increases male sexual potency.  But be warned not to use this optional tincture too often.  Though its an aphrodisiac, too much intake may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, dizziness, and restlessness.

Serve
Pour and Serve.

Swimming is a full body exercise. The more body parts you involve in your workout, the more calories you’ll burn. Spend 30 minutes doing the breastroke and you’ll burn almost 400 calories. Best of all, your joints are fully supported so you don’t have to worry about high-impact injuries. It’s also great cross-training for other cardio activities.

Cramps have rarely caused drowning. People who have supposedly drowned from cramps probably had heart attacks. The theory against eating before swimming is that it draws the blood into your intestine; when you start exercising, the circulation to the intestine shuts down and the blood goes to the muscles.

The most you might get if you exercise after eating is a stitch in the side. But cramps do not seem to be related to food at all. For example, a young American swimmer ate a hamburger with onions and mustard, and four candy bars, and drank a coke, just before a 1968 Olympic race, and broke her own world record. This is to suggest that you should eat, a big meal before swimming in a race. Any violent activity after a meal will cause nausea. But you can certainly paddle around a warm pool to your heart’s content.
