What is a Royal Flush Drink?

The Royal Flush drink was named after the best hand in poker “the royal flush” The royal flush is the best combination of cards to have in the popular game of poker.

• We used a maraschino cherry. Just plopped it on the ice.
• OR Garnish with an orange peel twist or wedge on the rim.
• We also used the large square cubes for the look. And they dissolve a lot slower than small ice cubes so slower dilution.
• Add a fresh whole cranberry or three on a pick for winter.
• slice a fresh peach and slide it into the glass for summer.
