I had two of these last night, made a little stronger for my tastes, and I was de-stressed for sure. This is darn tasty, and not near as sweet as I thought it would be. I'd make this again. I used Smirnoff vodka and Captain's Tattoo Rum.

A little too strong at the beginning, but when ice melts it mellows out. A welcomed cocktail

I love cranberry juice and I love vodka so I tried this. The picture by allrecipes shows a red drink, but mine was a pale color, not really red at all. I was a little disappointed that the peach schnapps kind of over rode the cranberry taste. I tried adding more cranberry and less schnapps and it was better but I think I'd leave out the schnapps all together next time.

This is good, but I also prefer the more traditional "Absolut Stress" from my days as a bartender: Fill a 12 glass with ice, pour in: 1 oz Absolute, 1 oz Malibu, 1 oz peach schnapps, add only a SPLASH of pineapple juice, and fill it up with cranberry juice. This is heaven, only... deadly!

OMG I didn't change a thing (well except I used light cranberry juice instead of regular) and I seriously LOVED it! It definitely is a excellent mixed drink!

Love it, love it, love it! This is my favorite "beach" drink when we go out clubbing on Pensacola Beach! Bamboo Willie's makes one that really kicks! If you have it, be sure to use Absolut vodka - that makes a big difference.

This is NOT the recipe for the drink commonly know to bartenders as Absolute Stress!! I'm sorry, but in these proportions this just tastes awful. A true Absolute Stress is 1 oz. Vodka, .5 oz peach schnapps, 1 oz. Malibu (or other coconut) Rum, 2 oz cranberry juice, 1 oz. Pineapple juice. Traditionally, absolute stress is a shooter and should be shaken over ice and strained, but it would be ok to drink over ice as a cocktail.

I messed up on this one. Thought we didn't have the dark rum or vodka (should've known better--we have way too much alcohol!), so used vanilla vodka and coconut rum instead. Come to find out we have both of what was called for. Oops! This drink was okay; a bit strong. I didn't have any problem finishing it, but it wasn't my bf's or my favorite. Thanks for sharing!

86 the cran and add some 7up or club soda. For something even better, use a vanilla vodka. It's a grown up Orange Julius!

This was pretty good. It was very strong, so I had to add some extra cranberry and orange juice. The taste wasn't amazing, but it was decent, and I can see myself making this again, if only to use up extra OJ and cranberry juice.

Different. Good. Sneaks up on you. An excellent drink for a hot summer afternoon or stressful day at work

i made some alterations...i used bacardi o instead of dark rum, left out the peach schnapps. i made a jug of these for a graduation party. i used 1 part vodka, 1 part rum, 1 part oj, and 3 parts cranberry juice. everyone liked it, but i wasn't the awesome drink i was looking for. maybe i'll try the original recipe next time.

Pretty good if you want to get drunk fast. I must be a pretty cheap drunk because after one of these i was done. I couldn't really taste the cranberry juice like i wanted to and it was more of an murky orange color...nothing like the picture. Might make again but add another ounce of cranberry juice
