Equipment
- Cocktail shaker or large jar with lid
- Measuring jigger or measuring cup
- Highball or rocks glasses
- Ice scoop or spoon
- Citrus juicer (optional)
Ingredients
- 2 oz peach schnapps
- 2 oz orange juice freshly squeezed if possible
- 2 oz cranberry juice
- 1 oz vodka optional
- Ice cubes
- Fresh peach slices optional garnish
- Orange slice or maraschino cherry optional garnish
Optional Add-Ins:
- Splash of club soda for a lighter drink
- Fresh lemon juice for brightness
- Crushed ice for a slushier texture
Instructions
Step 1: Chill Your Glass
- Fill your serving glass with ice and set it aside while you mix the drink. A cold glass keeps the Peach Fuzz crisp and refreshing.
Step 2: Build the Drink
- In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add peach schnapps, orange juice, cranberry juice, and vodka if using. The aroma at this stage is already fruity and inviting.
Step 3: Shake Until Frosty
- Shake vigorously for about 10–15 seconds, until the shaker feels cold in your hands. This blends the flavors and slightly mellows the sweetness.
Step 4: Strain and Serve
- Discard the ice from your glass and strain the drink in. Watch that gorgeous peachy color settle—it’s part of the charm.
Step 5: Garnish and Enjoy
- Garnish with a fresh peach slice or orange wedge. Take a sip, smile, and let the stress melt away.
