Ingredients
- 1 ounce vodka
- 1 teaspoon Cointreau liqueur
- 1 teaspoon Amaretto
- 7 ounces lemon-lime flavored soda (7-Up)
- 8 pieces orange peel (chips, dime-sized)
- 1 orange slice (garnish)
- 1 drop yellow food coloring
- 1 drop red food coloring
Method
- Fill a 12-ounce crystal glass with ice cubes.
- Using a sharp paring knife, cut an orange in half, and then cut off a half moon slice for the garnish.
- Then, shave off 8 dime-sized "chips" of orange peel, being careful to get only the outer skin and none of the white pith.
- Take one of the chips and wipe the rim of the glass with it.
- Toss the rest of the chips in with the ice cubes.
- Add the vodka, Cointreau, and Amaretto.
- (Cointreau is clear and if you substitute Grande Marinier, which is orange, the resulting color of your cocktail will not be exactly "Carousel Red" -- but it will still taste the same!).
- Now, slowly pour in the 7-Up to fill the glass.
- Add the 1 drop each of yellow and red food colorings.
- Garnish the rim with the orange slice.
- Enjoy!
