Apple Jolly Rancher Cocktail

One day at a trip to an amusement park, I had an apple jolly rancher slushy. When I got home, I thought that I could make an alcoholic drink that tasted like an apple jolly rancher, and set to trying different things. I ended up with a relatively simple recipe that tastes quite good. Be careful though, it can sneak up on you because it does taste so good!! (Also if you want more of a martini-type cocktail, simply strain the liquor into a cocktail glass and omit the soda, it tastes good on its own)
