Sunday Afternoon

Day 229



Sunday Afternoon
3.5 shots out of 5

Sunday Afternoon is a refreshing low alcohol cocktail that has a beautiful color.



OK, OK, I know......it's not Sunday.  

I'm a day off.....I know.  

Once I found this cocktail I didn't want to have to wait a week to make it.  

Problem is not only are my eyeballs sweating right now, but my eyeballs sweat is sweating too!  

Here comes our crazy late summer here in California!


I gave tonight's cocktail 3.5 shots out of 5.  

This is a very refreshing cocktail.  Another one I got from barnondrinks.  

I will add it to my list of summer cocktails, like my Back Porch Breeze, MCA and Leeches.  

If you like pink lemonade I think you will really enjoy this cocktail on a hot summer day......or cold winter night, whatever works.  

The peach schnapps works well with the pink lemonade and the grenadine adds a little bit more flavor as well as pinkness to this cocktail.  

I would definitely make this cocktail again if I had a container of pink lemonade in my fridge.  

This cocktail would also be a great one in a big punch bowl for a summertime BBQ.

  1. I know...its a lil late to comment but I been busy! Almost time to leave! I am so excited and believe me when I am sitting in the sun in California/Arizona thinking of all the people back home sitting in the rain and cold I will be drinking more then one of these. I might leave out the grenadine or put very little in. Hey...think olives will work in this one? We can only try.

    2. San Diego for sure...we got friends so we get free rent for a week. hehe But since California is so loooongggggg we usually stay somewhere on the way down, after stopping at the HUGE liquor store across the border of course. And we HAVE to stop in Corning at the Olive Pit, so sometimes we stay there. No real schedule so no way of really knowing. Ahhhhh the good life!
