Sex on the Moon
A vibrant and otherworldly twist on a classic, the "Sex on the Moon" is a layered cocktail that's as visually stunning as it is delicious.

Ingredients
1.5 oz Vodka (for the base, like a rocket preparing for launch)
0.75 oz Peach Schnapps (the sweet, fruity core of the cocktail, representing the juicy core of a celestial body)
0.5 oz Blue Curacao (for that mesmerizing, deep space blue)
0.5 oz Raspberry Liqueur (to add a hint of red, like Martian dust, and another layer of fruity depth)
2 oz Cranberry Juice (for a tart counterpoint and a contrasting layer of color)
2 oz White Cranberry Juice (for a brighter, more subtle layer)
Ice Cubes (for chilling the cocktail to cosmic perfection)

Garnish

A thin orange twist or a slice of star fruit (to represent a distant planet or a shooting star)
Edible glitter (for a shimmering, starry effect)

Instructions

Prepare your glasses: Start with a chilled highball glass, perfect for showcasing the beautiful layers of this cocktail.
The Base Layer: Fill the glass with ice cubes, then pour in the vodka and peach schnapps.
The Cosmic Blue: Slowly pour the blue curacao over the back of a spoon to create a distinct layer at the bottom.
The Raspberry Dust: Gently add the raspberry liqueur, letting it settle into a subtle layer above the blue.
The Cranberry Nebula: Carefully pour the cranberry juice over the back of the spoon, creating another distinct layer.
The White Cranberry Haze: Lastly, add the white cranberry juice, forming a lighter layer on top.
Garnish for Lift-Off: Place the orange twist or star fruit slice on the rim of the glass or gently drop it in. Sprinkle with edible glitter for that extra-terrestrial sparkle.

Tips for a stellar "Sex on the Moon"
Layering Technique: The key to distinct layers is pouring the denser liquids first and slowly adding lighter liquids over the back of a spoon.
Temperature Matters: Chilling your glass and ingredients beforehand will help maintain the layered effect.
Experiment with Garnishes: Consider other space-themed garnishes like a cocktail umbrella with star cutouts, or a thin rim of blue sugar for an icy planet feel.
Enjoy responsibly, and may your journey to the moon be filled with celestial delight!
