Day 18: "$2 Fish"

This somewhat obscure drink is called the $2 Fish, but let’s hope it doesn’t taste as cheap!

Here’s the recipe I used (taken from BarNoneDrinks.com):

1 oz vodka (Vitali Vodka)
1 oz tequila (Sauza Tequila Silver)
1/2 oz grenadine (Rose’s Grenadine Syrup)
3 tbsp Tang (Tang Powdered Drink Mix)

Mix up a single, 1 cup serving of Tang (use 3 tbsp powder mix). Add the vodka, tequila, and the grenadine and stir. Add ice and serve.

This can be served in any type of glassware. The original drink that this cocktail is linked to in name, the Swedish Fish cocktail, is garnished with a Swedish Fish gummy candy.

Personal tasting notes: I liked it, but I think next time I’ll make it a little simpler. Maybe I’ll take out the grenadine and tequila and just mix the Tang and vodka together. Now that I have a whole container of Tang mix, I need to do something with it, right? : ) I think I’ll call it an “Orange Gummy Bear” and garnish it with a gummy bear instead of a Swedish Fish…
