Gilligan's Island
Gilligan's Island Cocktail

I have no idea why these are called Gilligan's Island Cocktails.  We got this recipe a long time ago and it already had a name.  This cocktail doesn't seem that tropical, just peachy  However, the ladies seem to love them and they make great beach drinks.  If you can find cranberry mango juice use it.  If not cranberry juice cocktail works.  Cranberry mango juice is better in this cocktail than the cranberry juice cocktail, probably because the cranberry mango is 100% juice and the cocktail is just 27% juice.

Don't use DeKuyper Peachtree Schnapps for this drink.  We'd tried it and the flavor of their peach schnapps just doesn't work in this recipe.  We use Bols Peach Schnapps but I'm sure others will work well.  This recipe makes a half gallon but it saves well in the fridge and they never seem to last very long.

3 cups

orange juice (pulp free works best)

3 cups

Oceanspray Cranberry Mango or Oceanspray Cranberry Juice Cocktail

1 cup 

vodka

1 cup

peach schnapps

Mix everything together in a half gallon container.  Refrigerate.
