We totally rocked out a mid-week drinking session with this lovely drink. It's name suggested a good change of pace from the busy week. The recipe called for Absolut, but we used Gordon's instead (bad choice). We also quadrupled the recipe which is enough for 2 willing adults.

This drink is definitely a sipping drink and should not be drunk quickly (or in large quantities). This drink is very pretty but has a slight tart acidity, most likely due to the sweet and sour mix. If we could have a do-over, we would probably do equal parts vodka and triple sec, as well as equal parts sour mix and cranberry. Upon taking the first sip, we thought it was surprisingly tasty, but was easier to drink without the smell of the lemon slice. The smell of the lemon, while drinking, altered the taste in a negative way. So throw out the lemon, and bottoms up!
It's as pretty in pink as Molly Ringwald.
It's classy with a "k". (Eric)
This drink is actually quite forgettable.
