3.87 / 5
The Ruby Slipper is a vibrant cocktail that marries the tart sweetness of apple schnapps with the rich, fruity notes of blackcurrant vodka. Named for its dazzling appearance, this drink is typically served in a hurricane glass, its rim encrusted with red sugar that twinkles like the iconic shoes from the classic tale of Oz. The Ruby Slipper offers a boldly flavored concoction that conjures visions of ruby red hues and promises a punchy, sweet-tart experience with each sip. Its color and taste make it a playful choice for themed parties or as a standout addition to a colorful cocktail menu.
