The only way you could be sued is if you made a plastic container similar to
theirs, but no drink recipe can be trade marked.

I believe you already new this, but others may not.
I just helped the manufacturer of a drink shaker, which he manufactured with
recipes on the outer shell of the shaker. He was harrased and threatened for
using the name Stardust with his own recipe and Ray Gun and recipe. I showed
him where the name Stardust existed on four other websites and the exact
recipe with the name Ray Gun already existed on another website.

I could only find the following Hand Grenade recipes with melon flavoring.

Hand Grenade
2 parts 151
1 part everclear
1 Part Melon Schnapps
1 Part pineapple juice
sweet and sour mix, served over Ice in an 8 ounce glass)

Hand Grenade
1 Pineapple, Chunks
1 Part Vodka
1 Part Mountain Dew
Mix roughly equal parts(or, to taste) of each. Let sit in a fridge overnight.
When you want to drink it, put one chunk of pineapple in a shot glass, then
fill with mixture. To drink properly, take pineapple in your teeth from shot
glass, eat, then chase with shot. It's called hand grenade for three reasons:
1) Hand grenades are often called pineapples. 2) You "pull the pin" with your
teeth, as some people do with gernades. 3) You get blasted... :0)

But if you're ready for a drink that packs a serious punch, Tropical Isle is
your destination. At this spot, the cocktail of choice is the Hand Grenade,
which the bar has dubbed "New Orleans' most powerful drink." "It's strong and
it's melon-flavored," says co-owner Pam Fortner. It's served in a 16-oz.
signature cup or a half-yard--a tall, narrow glass generally used for
beer--shaped like a hand grenade, and each drink comes with a toy hand grenade
floating in it. "Adults like toys," Fortner confides.

I personaly don't think it's a good idea to serve people drinking alcohol any
type of toy, god knows what things they will think of doing with them after a
few drinks.
