Instructions:

Step one

Before you get started make sure you have your shaker, jigger, and glasses ready.

Also make sure you have all your ingredients including Peach schnapps, vodka, sloe gin, Southern comfort, Grand marnier, orange juice and grenadine.

Step two

Take you two rocks glasses or one highball glass and fill with ice. Also fill your cocktail shaker with ice.

Step three

Use your jigger and measure 2 oz of grand marnier. Add that to your cocktail shaker.

Step four

Use your jigger and measure 2 oz of orange juice. Add that to your cocktail shaker.

Step Five

Use your jigger and measure one and a half ounces of peach schnapps. Add that to cocktail shaker as well.

Step Six

Use your jigger and measure one and a half ounces of vodka. Add that to your cocktail shaker with the rest of your ingredients.

Step Seven

Use your jigger again, this time to measure one and a half ounces of sloe gin. Go ahead and dump that in your shaker.

Step Eight

Now, measure one and a half ounces of Southern comfort and add that in your shaker with everything else.

Step Nine

Last up is your grenadine. Use your jigger to measure about 5 oz of grenadine and add that to your shaker.

A note on the red color, the majority of the red color comes from the grenadine. If you want a super bright red drink you can add a smidge more grenadine to each glass at the end. Or, you can add a little less orange juice and a little more Grand Marnier and your Shaker initially which will help the drink stay bright red and maintain the flavor profile.

Step Ten

Go ahead and grab the top for your cocktail shaker. Place it on your cocktail shaker and shake well. This usually takes around 15 to 20 seconds or until the outside of your Shaker is cold to touch.

Step Eleven

Next, remove top from your cocktail shaker. Then, place your Hawthorne strainer on top of your cocktail shaker. Next go ahead and strain your liquid from your cocktail shaker into your two rocks glasses or one highball glass.

Your drink is ready to enjoy. Sit back, take a sip and enjoy!
