Method
Cocktail
Prepare shaker
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice (about 1 cup).
Add spirits and mixers
Pour 5 oz Fireball, 1 oz apricot brandy, 2 oz Cabernet Merlot, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, and 1.5 oz pineapple juice into the shaker over the ice.
Shake
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty and the ingredients are well-chilled and combined.
Strain and serve
Strain the cocktail into a chilled highball or rocks glass filled with fresh ice. The merlot will float and create a layered, red-tinted appearance blending with the cinnamon and apricot notes.
Garnish & Finish
Garnish the glass with a lime wheel or wedge and, if desired, a small pineapple wedge on the rim. Serve immediately.
