I found this recipe on Pinterest the other day and I found myself curious. The cocktail was named the Cayman Lemonade and here is how it is described:
I think I may have found a new Spring/Summer cocktail to make at the bar. Try it. Let me know what you think.

The Cayman Lemonade! Delicious, but dangerous as well…considering it tastes exactly like lemonade but there is not one ounce of actual lemonade in the drink! Enjoy! 1 oz Vodka 1 oz Triple Sec 1 oz Peach Schnapps, Cranberry juice, Club Soda. Mix vodka, triple sec and peach schnapps in a shaker. Pour over ice, add a squeeze of lime and a splash of cranberry juice and club soda. Stir and enjoy!!!I decided to make it as described and you know what? It didn't taste exactly like lemonade. It tasted like a fizzy peach drink since the peach schnapps seemed to be the dominant flavor in the cocktail and it was unbalanced in terms of sweetness. It wasn't a bad or ill-tasting cocktail, but it just didn't live up to the description of it being a "Lemonade". I decided to play around with the cocktail to make it somewhat like a boozy lemonade. Here is how I made it:
This one was definitely a more balanced cocktail which actually had a lemonade feel and taste to it. I had Marta take a taste of it and she absolutely loved it. It is a cocktail that one can have at a beach somewhere while you are lounging back on a beach chair with your favorite book.The Cayman Lemonade (Updated)
