Annabel Lee

If you're like me, you may be wondering who the heck Annabel Lee is and why she deserved to have a drink named after her. I knew I'd heard the name, but couldn't place it. If you're like any English buff (in other words, the opposite of me), you will immediately know what the name is from: Edgar Allan Poe! It is the name of his last complete poem. As is common with Poe's work, it's about death, in this case the death of a beautiful woman. Still not sure why you would want to name a drink after her, but either way, it tastes very good.

• 1 oz peach schnapps
• 1 oz vodka
• blue curacao
• pineapple juice
• sour mix

Fill a cocktail glass with ice, add peach and vodka, then pineapple and sour. You can either add the curacao and let it sink to the bottom artfully, or you can add it then shake. Garnish with a flag of pineapple, a slice of orange and a cherry.
