How to Make Traffic Light Cooler

  1. Fill a chilled pilsner glass almost to the top with ice cubes.
  2. Gently pour 1.5 oz of Midori melon liqueur over the ice to create the green layer. Try to avoid disturbing the ice too much.
  3. Add 1 oz of Tequila to the Midori, allowing it to settle on top of the Midori to create the second layer.
  4. Add 0.75 oz of sour mix. It will sink to the bottom.
  5. Slowly pour 1.5 oz of orange juice down the side of the glass to create a distinct yellow layer. Use a spoon on the back of the glass to help the layers separate.
  6. Carefully float 1 oz of sloe gin on top to create the red layer. Pour it very slowly over the back of a spoon to prevent mixing.
  7. Garnish with a maraschino cherry, a lemon wheel, and a lime wheel.
