How to Mix a Gilligan's Island Cocktail

The Gilligan's Island cocktail, named after the infamous television series "Gilligan's Island," is a sweet, fruit-flavored beverage without too much alcohol. The show "Gilligan's Island" was about a group of castaways who became stuck on a deserted tropical island. Likewise, the cocktail would be perfectly at home on a piece of beach-front land.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Ice
• 1 1/2 shots of vodka
• 1 1/2 shots of peach schnapps
• 6 ounces of orange juice
• 4 ounces of cranberry juice
• A slice of orange (optional)

1. Fill a tall glass (a pint glass or Collins glass will work fine) roughly halfway full of ice.

2. Add the vodka and peach schnapps. Stir to combine the ingredients well.

3. Pour in the cranberry juice and orange juice. Stir again to mix the ingredients together. If the glass isn't quite full, add more ice to fill it.

4. Garnish with a slice of orange, if desired.

Tips & Warnings

• Flavored vodkas, particularly orange-flavored ones, work very nicely in this recipe. Try experimenting to find your favorite.
• Another great option is to replace the vodka with rum for an even more tropical feel.
• Don't use expensive vodka to construct your Gilligan's Island. It isn't worth it because the vodka's flavor is overpowered by the other flavors, particularly that of the peach schnapps.
• Never drink and drive.
• Drink responsibly.
