Fruit Salad Cocktail

This is a tasty mixer - I threw it together at a New Years Party where is turned out to be a real hit. It's very fruity and refreshing. Still, the alcohol is definitely present. Either way, it's a fairly versatile drink that's worth trying.

The items in this drink are pretty simple. You'll want a drinking glass, a shot glass (if you want to measure), ice, cranberry juice (or similar), ginger ale, peach schnapps, banana schnapps, and (optionally) a paper umbrella. I personally like to serve it in a tumbler glass, but it looks equally nice in stemware. All of the drinks should be cold, so if they haven't been the refrigerator, you should let them chill.

1. Put the ice in the glass. 3-4 large cubes should be plenty.
2. Add 1 shot of banana schnapps.
3. Add 1 shot of peach schnapps.
4. Add 1 shot of ginger ale.
5. Slowly add cranberry juice to taste.
I like to add it slowly just in case the ginger ale decides to foam up.

I'm not of the opinion that the brands matter a lot, at least for this drink, but the pictures from the first step are of the brands I used.

6. Enjoy!
