The “Dick in the Dirt” is a robust and fruity cocktail that combines the warmth of Southern Comfort and Yukon Jack with the sweetness of peach schnapps and the citrus notes of Grand Marnier. Balanced with cranberry and pineapple juices, this drink delivers a smooth yet invigorating experience, perfect for lively gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 1 oz Peach Schnapps
  • 1/2 oz Southern Comfort
  • 1/2 oz Yukon Jack (Canadian whisky liqueur)
  • 1/2 oz Bacardi 151 (or another overproof rum)
  • 1/2 oz Grand Marnier (orange liqueur)
  • 1 oz Cranberry Juice
  • 1 oz Pineapple Juice
  • Ice cubes
  • Pineapple wedge or cherry for garnish (optional)

Steps to Make It

  1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
  2. Pour in the peach schnapps, Southern Comfort, Yukon Jack, Bacardi 151, and Grand Marnier.
  3. Add the cranberry and pineapple juices.
  4. Shake well until the mixture is chilled.
  5. Strain into a Collins glass filled with fresh ice.
  6. Garnish with a pineapple wedge or cherry, if desired.

Notes:

  • The original recipe lacked precise measurements for the juices, which could lead to an unbalanced flavor. Specifying 1 oz each of cranberry and pineapple juice ensures consistency and a harmonious blend.
  • Using a shaker to mix the ingredients, rather than stirring in the glass, helps to properly combine the flavors and achieve the desired dilution and chill.
  • Garnishing adds a visual appeal and a hint of freshness to the cocktail.

Enjoy responsibly!
