This little cocktail packs a punch just like all those fierce, smart and beautiful women who marched in support of Women's, and Human, rights on 1/21/17. This cocktail is dedicated to the women, and wonderfully supportive men, who marched in those peaceful demonstrations worldwide. We will not go back to the 50's quietly!
To build the cocktail to a shaker 1/4 filled with cracked ice add:
2 oz raspberry flavored vodka (I used Stoli)
2 oz Grand Marnier No2 (raspberry peach flavored liqueur)
2 oz of Simply brand Lemonade with raspberry
Shake and strain into two small cocktail glasses. Add 1 tsp of maraschino cherry liquid to each glass (this will create a layered look) and garnish with one maraschino cherry that you let float to the bottom.

For this cocktail I wanted to use a warming alcohol to ward off the cooler winter temperatures so this is a bourbon-based drink. To keep the cocktail from being too apple-flavored I added a touch of lemon juice. We have a Meyer lemon tree in our backyard that is producing some nice fruit right now so I used one in this cocktail. If you don't have Meyer you can use a regular lemon. Perfect for après-ski or to keep you warm as you are toasting marshmallows on the beach bonfire (mountains to sea!).
To a cocktail shaker 1/3 filled with cracked ice add:
- 4 oz. Kentucky straight bourbon (I used Eagle Rare 10 year aged bourbon in this cocktail)
- 2 oz. Faretti biscotti famosi liqueur (a beautiful liqueur with a very slight anise flavor)
- 1 oz. fresh-squeezed lemon juice (meyer if you can find it)
- 5 oz. apple cider (regular, not hard!)
Shake or stir and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon twist (rub the lemon twist between your fingers gently to release the aromatic oils prior to deploying to the cocktail).
Makes (2) warming and smile-inducing drinks.
Enjoy!
