Which cocktail is typically shaken with ice and includes sloe gin, amaretto, and orange juice?

• A. Cosmopolitan
• B. Tom Collins
• C. Alabama Slammer
• D. Sloe Gin Fizz

Answer: (C)

Recognizing cocktails by their ingredient lineup and how they’re prepared is what this question is testing. When you see sloe gin, amaretto, and orange juice together, the drink that fits is the Alabama Slammer. It’s typically shaken with ice to chill and blend the flavors, and it centers on those three liqueurs plus orange juice (often with Southern Comfort). The other drinks don’t include all three ingredients: Cosmopolitan uses vodka with citrus and cranberry; Tom Collins uses gin, lemon juice, sugar, and soda; Sloe Gin Fizz uses sloe gin with lemon, sugar, and soda but lacks amaretto or orange juice. So the Alabama Slammer is the correct match.
