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.
Drink Up^
