Friday Happy Hour: Traffic Light

Traffic LightI've never been very good at making cocktails where you have to pour in the ingredients in a certain way to create a layered effect. But the colors on this one, if you can do it right, make the drink seem rather intoxicating (no pun intended).

It's the Traffic Light, a red, yellow, and green concoction that has a few variations. This one comes from In The Spirit and involves a shot glass (the pic above is a slightly different version, from B52s). You need a half shot of of Midori, a half shot of Disaronno Amaretto, and a shot of De Kuyper Cranberry Liqueur. You pour each one (in the order you see) over the back of a spoon, being carefully to layer them in the glass. The site categorizes this drink as "hard."

Needless to say, just because this drink has the name Traffic Light doesn't mean you can drive after drinking it.
