LIQUID ELMO




LIQUID ELMO
1 ounce raspberry vodka
½ ounce Grenadine
7- Up or Sprite

Raspberry vodka is a very lovely flavor of vodka and one that I would recommend you make a regular part of your bar stock. As I’m finding out, raspberry vodka is versatile too. I bet there are thousands of cocktails you could make with it, but tonight’s is the LIQUID ELMO cocktail from barnonedrinks.com. Any Sesame Street watching three-year old could make it. Simply pour raspberry vodka over ice in a highball glass, add Grenadine and fill the rest of the glass up with 7-UP or Sprite. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.

The LIQUID ELMO is sweet and gentle like the fuzzy red character, but minus the annoying high-pitched voice. The key is the Grenadine — I used Rose’s —which a careful look at the label revealed is basically just corn syrup. Depressing, but it explains why I think it makes every cocktail it is in taste great. Still, as a fan of Elmo’s infectious laugh, I am happy to recommend adding the flavorful, refreshing LIQUID ELMO to your liquid diet.
