Mixed drinks come in a range of strengths based on their alcoholic content and types of ingredients. The Eyes Wide Shut alcoholic beverage is a strong mixed drink concoction. It combines whiskey, Southern Comfort and amaretto with several fruit juices. The drink is easy to prepare as each ingredient can be poured directly into a pint glass, without the need to shake or stir the final mixture. The resulting drink mixture is served over ice and appears similar to a reddish-hued ice tea.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOza-uUGHf4 If you enjoy making mixed drinks for your friends, family members or your significant other, consider making an Eyes Wide Shut for your next entertainment occasion, especially if your acquaintances prefer strong beverages.

Purchase amaretto, Crown Royal, Southern Comfort, cranberry juice, pineapple juice and grenadine.

Fill your pint glass with chunky ice. Measure out a 1/2 ounce of each ingredient and pour it into your glass. Add your Southern Comfort, Crown Royal, amaretto, cranberry juice and pineapple juice. You can modify the proportions to your preferences, but be mindful of your total liquid volume as to avoid over filling your glass. Top off your drink with a splash of grenadine.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOza-uUGHf4
