    • bar spoon
    • Punch Bowl
    • Ladle

    Ingredients:

    Note: The amounts below give you approximately one cocktail. You can multiple them by the number of drinks you want to make. When making a large amount, you can mix them in a punch bowl.

    • 1 oz fruit punch
    • 1 oz sprite

    • cherry
    • orange

    Instructions:

    Step one

    Get your glass, cocktail shaker, jigger, fruit punch, orange juice, pineapple juice, sprite, and vodka all in one spot and ready to mix it up.

    Make sure your glass is filled with ice. Also toss a few ice cubes into your shaker.

    Note: Decide if you want to make a single cocktail or a large batch. For a large batch, use a punch bowl and ladle instead of a cocktail shaker. And just stir it together instead of mixing from glass to shaker.

    Step two

    Garnish is optional on this one. Cherries, lemon wedge or orange wedge all work well with the flavors of the drink.

    For cherries, pop three on a cocktail pick and slide into the side of your glass.

    For lemon or orange wedge, cut them into slices. Then, cut a small notch in the pulp of your slice. Place the slice on the rim of your glass using the notch you cut.

    Step three

    Use your jigger to measure out 1 oz of fruit punch. Pour that fruit punch into your glass.

    Step four

    Use your jigger to measure out 1 oz of sprite. Pour that sprite into your glass.

    Step Five

    Use your jigger to measure out .5 oz of orange juice. Pour that orange juice into your glass.

    Step Six

    Use your jigger to measure out .5 oz of pineapple juice. Pour that pineapple juice into your glass.

    Step Seven

    Use your jigger to measure out 2 oz of vodka. Pour that vodka into your glass.

    Step Eight

    Toss all the contents from your glass into your shaker and then from your shaker back into your glass. This should get everything mixed up well.

    Enjoy!
