Sneaky Pete Drink Recipe

Are you familiar with the term Sneaky Pete?  This term typically refers to some type of practical joke or a drink from the prohibition era that was hidden from the authorities.

Sneaky Pete is the perfect name for this cocktail. The sweet taste hides any taste of vodka; hence, you’ll never know that you are on the way to feeling a little drunk. The vodka is completely hidden by the flavors of cranberry juice, lemonade, orange juice, 7-Up, and Fresca.

The other cool thing is that this cocktail is a slush.  Drink it slowly as it begins to thaw.

Aunt Peggy always makes this cocktail for the holidays.  Sneaky Pete Vodka Slush is sort of a tradition at her house; her mom made if for years and years before Peggy took over.  The original recipe came from a cookbook from the Psi Iota Xi Sorority in Cambridge City, Indiana, and she noted that her mom often adds extra vodka!

When it’s cold and below freezing, leave it sitting outside the door to save room in the freezer. If you are looking for a drink that will help get a party started, look no farther.

It’s slushy and sweet, and goes down so smooth.  There’s really no cocktail recipe that can hold a candle to this treasure. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, 4th of July. Add this to the menu for your next party.
