Ruby Red : Mix That Drink

There are a number of different recipes for cocktails called “Ruby Red”, and they’re quite dissimilar. Some involve vodka, others use gin. Some add brandy, others campari. There’s also a ludicrous version that’s served with an actual ruby in it at some posh nightclub looking for a drink to satisfy clientele who suffer from the inability to get over themselves.

The following is a personal recipe that combines the best of a couple of other recipes – at least, as far as we’re concerned. Enjoy. Because this one contains four ounces of fruit juice, it’s great for a night out, but don’t forget that it’s still pretty strong with three ounces of hard liquor.
