Keywest Cooler (...or a Traffic Light to you YOBS!)


Ingredient List
12.5ml Vodka
12.5ml Midori
12.5ml Peach Schnapps
12.5ml Malibu
50ml Cranberry Juice
50ml Orange Juice

Method
This is a very special drink for a few reasons.  It looks like a traffic light and because of its layering is 3 different drinks in one glass, then when it is mixed becomes another drink completely! 
It also has several exotic flavours in it which includes Coconut, Peach and Japanese Watermelon.
Preferably this is best served in a tall, thin glass to get the best effect (unlike the picture, sorry).  The glass must be FULL of ice for the drink to layer properly.
Start by putting 12.5ml Midori into the glass, this is the green.  Then shake the 12.5ml Malibu and peach schnapps together with the 50ml of Orange Juice.  Shake well and slowly pour over the ice (make sure to pour very slowly and onto the ice then the orange colour will layer on top of the Midori)
Finally shake together the 12.5ml Vodka and the 50ml Cranberry juice and layer on to the orange, if the ice is not to the top of the glass add more or it will mix and not layer.
Taste each individual layer by pulling your straw through the glass and then mix to get a completely new flavour.  ENJOY!!

This is my favourite cocktail ever and rarely do I find anywhere that makes it really well- just tried this myself and it was amazing thanks so much for the recipe! :-)
