How to Make a Ruby Relaxer Cocktail. A wonderfully refreshing drink, perfect for relaxing in the backyard, by the pool, or while watching the big game. This delicious cocktail is an easy-to-make, fruity drink (but not too fruity) that goes down easy.
An acquaintance gave me this recipe last week. It sounded great for summer and fall (the cranberry juice intrigued me), so Hubby and I gave it a try last weekend.
Ruby Relaxer Cocktail Recipe
This is one tasty, smooth, easy to go down, cocktail drink. I had two and wanted a third! Hubby even had two. Hubby never has two drinks! He liked it so much that when I was going to toss the remains, he quickly rescued them and we had the leftovers the next day!
This is a fruit cocktail, but the cranberry tempers the fruity making it not too sweet and highly drinkable.

Tips and variations for making a Ruby Relaxer:
● The recipe is a 2-1 ration; two parts each juice to one part each liquor. If you are making a single drink, I would try 2 oz of pineapple juice, 2 oz splash of cranberry juice, and one ounce of each liquor. Combine in a cocktail glass, give it a stir, add ice and you have a single serving!
● This recipe may be doubled or tripled to make enough Ruby Relaxer cocktails for a party or punch bowl.
● Malibu rum, Cruzan coconut rum, Bacardi coconut rum, etc. are all just name-brand coconut rums. Use the coconut rum you like best.
● Tito’s vodka is simply a brand name. Use the vodka you like best.
● Dekuyper Peachtree Schnapps is just a brand name. Use the peach schnapps you like best.
● Make a stick or single garnish using maraschino cherries, peach slices, orange wedges, or fresh cranberries.
● Use fancy stemware to dress up your cocktail presentation. A highball glass, margarita glass, Tom Collins glass; all will work to serve this ruby relaxer drink.

Hey everyone! As a bartender at Ruby Tuesday, I can say the Ruby Relaxer is a fan favorite.
A couple corrections, that come right from Ruby’s spec of drinks:
For a large Relaxer, a 20 oz pilsner glass, it’s 1 oz of Absolut vodka, 1 oz of Cruzan coconut rum, 1 oz of peach schnapps. We prepare the relaxer base ahead of time, which is 12 oz of Ocean Spray cranberry COCKTAIL, so actual cranberry juice is not used. 12 oz of Dole pineapple juice, and 1/4 oz of grenadine. I feel the grenadine really brings it together.
Fill the 20 oz glass with ice.
Pour the 3 oz of liquor in glass
Add 4 oz of the relaxer base, or whatever you desire, according to taste.
Shake 10 times and then pour.
Squeeze an orange slice in and leave on top for a garnish.
Voíla!
