Citrus Sunset

1 lime
2 t sugar
ice cubes
1-1/2 oz vodka
1 oz triple sec
1 oz peach schnapps
3 oz orange juice
2 maraschino cherries

Slice off each end of the lime just enough to remove the rind and peel on the ends of the fruit. Slice the fruit lengthwise in half. Wrap and refrigerate one of the lime halves. Slice the other half lengthwise, then cross-wise into thirds. Muddle the lime and sugar in the bottom of a cocktail shaker.

Add five or six ice cubes to the cocktail shaker. Pour the vodka, triple sec, and peach schnapps over the ice, then shake well.

Place the cherries in the bottom of an old fashioned glass. Add some of the cherry juice if the drink is for a lady. Strain the shaker contents into the glass, and fill the glass with orange juice.
