Ruby Runner

The Ruby Runner is in the same class as the Zombie in terms of alcohol content – nearly 5 ounces – but unlike the Zombie, this one doesn’t have quite enough fruit juice to disguise the alcohol. Which means it doesn’t sneak up on you quite the same way.
This is a cocktail for when you really need a drink, but you don’t want the taste of strong alcohol. With rum and liqueurs providing the kick, it’s gentler than plain hard liquors – but just as powerful.
