This is a nice red Royal Flush Cocktail that I love to make from time to time. It’s easy to make and, of course, has a great taste.

The Royal Flush Cocktail is popular among cocktail lovers and bartenders too, but I didn’t find many recipes online, so I’m sharing mine, I’m sure you’ll love it. as I did my best to use ingredients that are easy to find.

As I said the ingredients used to make this Royal Flush Cocktail are simple and always available in my kitchen, like peach schnapps, cranberry juice, and raspberry liqueur. For the whiskey, I use Crown Royal, and I recommend you do too because it adds the strong flavor needed to the drink and for me is the main ingredient.

The drink is quite similar to the Red Devil Drink (not in taste), as the flavors are very different, but in color due to the cranberry juice.
