Moonriver #36 - Zoinks and Zonkers

Tonight's special comes to you in the form of a simple request.
  "I'd like a Red-Headed, but without the Red-Headed."

To that, you'd probably first check your blades, then the other patrons.  An assassination attempt is certainly imminent.
  And then the barkeep sighs, and pushes your way a familiar red potion.  

This is known to the worlds forgotten as a ZONKER.  Strong, sweet, and terribly tasty.
To mix a Zonker, you'll need some Vodka, fruity liqueur, Amaretto, and Cranberry Juice.
1 oz each of Vodka, Triple Sec, Amaretto, and the Cranberry Juice get tossed into a shaker with ice, and a few shakes later, strained into a glass to enjoy.

TASTING NOTES
+ It's certainly fruity, but...
+ The triple sec overpowers like nobody's business.
+ Miraculously, this isn't fruity ENOUGH.
+ There's too much of that weird cough medicine vibe.

This is when The Lady interjects with her own rendition.  Consider instead the following:
1 oz Vodka
1 oz Triple Sec
1 oz Amaretto
2 oz Cranberry Juice

And suddenly, this is pretty lovely.  Add in 1 oz of Peach Schnapps, and you're good to go.  For my Lady, one shot's worth is enough here, as it is effectively a dessert at this point.  You'll sip down six before you notice the buzz, or suck down a high ball glass of the stuff and feel it for hours.  
It's simple, sweet, and terribly fruity.

Imbibe Responsibly at my table.
