Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• A Cocktail Shaker
• A Measuring Glass, or Shot Glass
• Lemon Flavored Vodka
• Apple Schnapps
• Pomegranate Juice
• Lemonade Soda
• Maraschino Cherry
• Double Old Fashioned Glass

1. 
    
   Cocktail Shaker

   Inspect your cocktail shaker; make sure it's clean and free from any lint etc. left over from its last use. It doesn't matter if you use a glass or metal shaker, they'll both do a fine job. Half-fill the shaker with ice cubes.

2. 
    
   Lemon Flavored Vodka

   Use a good quality lemon flavored vodka for finer flavor and measure out 2 ounces, and pour it into the shaker.

3. 
    
   Selecting A Bottle Of Apple Schnapps

   Measure 1 ounce of apple schnapps, also a good quality brand; then add it to the shaker.

4. 
    
   Pomagranate

   Take a bottle of pomegranate juice and carefully measure out 1 ounce and add it to the shaker.

5. 
    
   Double Old Fashioned Glass

   Drop 4 or 5 ice cubes into the chilled double old fashioned glass.

6. 
    
   Maraschino Cherries

   Hold the shaker lid down firmly and grasping the shaker with both hands, shake it gently, 5 or six times.
   
   While straining the ingredients, pour the liquids from the shaker into the double old fashioned glass.
   
   Now, gently pour the lemonade soda into the glass. Stop pouring when the level is just below the rim of the glass. Lightly stir the beverage with a bar stirrer and add a maraschino cherry and serve.
