There's something cosmopolitan (small "c" cosmopolitan) about then name Red Rover. As with all kids games and playground rhymes, we can all identify with the sensory details of those early life moments where we had fun with friends.
As an adult, I appreciate this cocktail with its fun, juvenile flavor of sloe gin (which tastes like an Icee) and the color of the drink, which looks exactly like Clifford's red coat. Interestingly, the Red Rover game is called Ali Baba in Russia, where you'd think the word "red" would make an appearance.
Anyway, if you like a Bourbon Sidecar with a peach slice and a brilliant red hue, this one is for you.
- 1 1/2 oz. bourbon
- 1/2 oz. sloe gin
- 1/2 oz. lemon juice
- 1 tsp. sugar syrup
- lemon slice
- peach slice
Combine liquid ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with fruit slices.
