Armadillo Punch

Back in December, I went to the casino for the first time for my best friend’s birthday and we had a blast. She won a little over $100 so we decided to go to Texas Roadhouse for some snacks and drinks afterward. I ordered an Armadillo Punch, and boy was it good! It was sweet and tangy, with just the right amount of kick.

If you’d like to make your own Armadillo Punch, here is a recipe that you can use. (It looks like it’s just a variation of Sex on the Beach). Mix together ¾ ounces of peach schnapps, an ounce of Malibu rum (or your favorite flavor), and a bit of grenadine, orange juice, and pineapple juice. Garnish with pineapples if you like; adding cherries on a toothpick also makes it pretty.

Some recipes also recommend an ounce of amaretto. Others call for Southern Comfort instead of the rum.
