Red, White and Blue Shooter
"Found on About.com when looking for a recipe for Election Night 2008.... Hope I don't NEED too many of these!! This is a layered shot so each ingredient is carefully poured over the back of a spoon onto the next layer. It may take a bit of practice, but once done this shot has a great orange/peach taste"

I was disappointed. I bought the 3 ingredients, tried, and tried, but to no avail. The peach schnapps just mixed with the grenadine. I ended up with a lighter red and blue. I used the back of a spoon, as you directed." (I have used this technique before--making a shooter called a "Baby Guinness" which is Kahlua with Irish Cream floated on top.) Luckily, I wanted to experiment on my own, so I had bought a bottle of The Club Pina Colada and some milk. Both floated on top, but the Kahlua worked better and tasted better. The Curacao mixes a bit with the colada, turning into a bright, opaque blue, and the rest floats on the top. It's red, blue and white, but it will have to do. I will take that to my party, not the peach schnapps. Maybe different brands of peach schnapps have a different density??? I prefer having a white as opposed to the clear schnapps, if it had worked, that is.

I grew up in Tucson but moved to Colorado in 1989 and live in a household with my husband, Dad, daughter and 3-year old twin granddaughters. Our 8-year old grandson spends 2 nights a week with us. All of that adds up to often difficult menu ideas to met everyone's tastes.
Zaar is very addicting and I love trying the recipes I find here. I like to find recipes of people that I see are still active on Zaar and love it when I hear back from the Chef after I review the recipe. Everytime someone reviews one of my recipes, I like to find one of theirs to make and review as quickly as possible. It's a way for me to find great chefs I don't know yet too!
My husband has high blood sugar so we try to watch our carbs, but it is not easy because we love them so much!
I was diagnosed with brain tumors in 2005 and so far have had 5 surgeries that have left my eyelid droopy. I hope to have a surgery that will correct that soon!! There is still one tumor they have not removed but my wonderful doctor James Garrity at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN says they will leave it alone until or if it ever causes problems!
