How To Make The Jolly Rancher Cocktail

Tasting Notes: The flavor of 7UP with some light nuances of sweet citrus and raspberry; very refreshing flavor profile that doesn’t reflect the super sweetness of a real jolly rancher. The flavors actually seem to make 7UP better than it is by itself, very nice.

A super easy cocktail to make that lends itself a super refreshing nature. This recipe compliments that of 7UP and kicks up the flavors very well. The light carbonated fun of a 7UP with subtle nuances of raspberry and citrus. Rather than being a cocktail with soda, this is almost a soda with cocktail nuance. Exciting!

This Ocean Spray Cranberry juice cocktail was developed to help drive some exposure and sales of cranberry juice. It has a classic cocktail look, could use a bit of a garnish and definitely hides the Southern Comfort. Not a hugely potent drink, has a bit of a dry cranberry finish with some nice acidity and a little sweetness. SoCo brings the structure to the flavors but isn't dominant.

Amaretto usually does not disappoint so we'll see what happens when you bring amaretto together with some lime and coconut rum. In some ways there is a bit of a Mai Tai like flavor thanks to the almonds playing big in the drink. Or, perhaps, an almond daiquiri. Everyone is going to like this... unless you've got some crazy almond allergy. Otherwise, you may find the sweetness slightly balanced out against the lime to create a very enjoyable cocktail experience.

The Kapu-Kai Swizzle is a cocktail utilizing Lemon Hart 151 and demerara syrup with a bit of lime. However, because of the crushed ice and swizzle, the dilution is pretty high and the rich demerara syrup keeps the cocktail from being pure rocket fuel. Molasses heavy sweetness makes this a worth cocktail contender that fits well into the tiki mold.
