Description
A refreshing cocktail perfect for summer, featuring peach schnapps and orange juice with a beautiful sunset effect.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 oz (30ml) peach schnapps
- 1 oz (30ml) Southern Comfort
- 3 oz (90ml) orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 splash (approximately ¼ oz) grenadine syrup
- Orange slice for garnish
- Orange-colored sugar for rimming (optional)
- Ice cubes
- Cold water (for preparing the sugar rim)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Glass: If you’re opting for the sugar-rimmed presentation, begin by preparing your glass. Pour a small amount of cold water onto a small plate. On another plate, spread your orange-colored sugar in an even layer. Dip the rim of your glass first into the water, then immediately into the sugar, rotating gently to ensure even coverage. Set aside to dry slightly.
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Measure out all liquid ingredients using a jigger or measuring tool. Squeeze fresh oranges for juice if using. Cut additional orange slices for garnish.
- Fill Your Shaker: Add a generous amount of ice to your cocktail shaker. Pour in the measured peach schnapps, Southern Comfort, and orange juice.
- Shake Thoroughly: Secure the top of your cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for approximately 15-20 seconds until cold.
- Prepare Your Serving Glass: Fill your prepared highball or collins glass about two-thirds full with fresh ice cubes.
- Strain and Pour: Using your strainer, pour the shaken mixture over the ice, leaving space for the grenadine.
- Create the Sunset Effect: Carefully pour a splash of grenadine down the inside of the glass to create a gradient sunset effect.
- Garnish: Place your orange slice on the rim or float it on top of the drink.
Notes
- For a sweeter variation, adjust the amount of grenadine.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and presentation.
