Judgment Day Cocktail

Total Time: 10 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

  • Servings: 1
  • 1 ounce vodka
  • 1 teaspoon cointreau liqueur
  • 1 teaspoon amaretto
  • 7 ounces lemon-lime flavored soda (7-up)
  • 8 pieces orange peel (chips, dime-sized)
  • 1 orange slice (garnish)
  • 1 drop yellow food coloring
  • 1 drop red food coloring

Recipe

  • 1 fill a 12-ounce crystal glass with ice cubes.
  • 2 using a sharp paring knife, cut an orange in half, and then cut off a half moon slice for the garnish. then, shave off 8 dime-sized "chips" of orange peel, being careful to get only the outer skin and none of the pith.
  • 3 take one of the chips and wipe the rim of the glass with it. toss the rest of the chips in with the ice cubes.
  • 4 add the vodka, cointreau, and amaretto. (cointreau is clear and if you substitute grande marinier, which is orange, the resulting color of your cocktail will not be exactly "carousel red" -- but it will still taste the same!). now, slowly pour in the 7-up to fill the glass.
  • 5 add the 1 drop each of yellow and red food colorings.
  • 6 garnish the rim with the orange slice.
  • 7 enjoy!
