Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ ounces vodka
  • 1 ½ ounces sour apple schnapps
  • 4 ounces orange juice (1/2 cup)
  • ½ ounce blue curacao
  • 3 dashes citrus bitters any citrus flavor will work, I prefer grapefruit
  • splash club soda
  • ½ strawberry

Instructions
 

  • Fill your glass with ice.
  • In the glass combine all ingredients. Stir to mix.
  • Cut the strawberry in half from stem to tip. Carve it into a heart shape with a small knife or use a small heart cookie cutter.
  • Float the heart in the drink. Serve.

Notes

Want to make a large batch for a party? Combine everything except the club soda and let people top off their drinks as they are poured with the club soda. You only need a splash of club soda for each drink to give it a little bubble action!
The bitters really does add a great depth of flavor and I recommend not skipping it! Without it, the drink tastes tart/tangy but not as complex.
