PINK ELEPHANT

PINK ELEPHANT
1½ measures strawberry vodka
3/4 measure peach schnapps
Pink Lemonade
Sprite or 7-Up

"Pink Elephants, Pink Elephants, Pink Elephants on parade."

One of my favorite scenes from a movie is in the Disney classic Dumbo. The scene where Dumbo hallucinates after drinking one too many cocktails (it is suppose to be water with absinthe accidentally spilled in) is silly, scary and fun all at the same time. The song "Pink Elephants on Parade" plays while pink elephants dance across the screen. Now that I've drank a PINK ELEPHANT cocktail, I can relate, because it is so good that you could drink a bucket full.

The recipe for a PINK ELEPHANT cocktail was given to Hubby by a downtown Cleveland bartender that was as flamboyant as Timothy Q. Mouse. To make it, just put vodka and peach schnapps into a tall cocktail glass filled with ice, stir, then fill it almost the rest of the way up with pink lemonade, leaving a little room for you to top it off with 7-Up or Sprite.

I was really impressed by how good this cocktail was. The PINK ELEPHANT is light, crisp, and very, very good. Even if you don't like any of the ingredients separately, they combine to perfection in this cocktail. Don't let another summer day pass you buy without trying one.
