Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh peaches peeled and sliced OR ¾ cup peach nectar
- 3 oz vodka
- 2 oz peach schnapps
- 1 oz fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon simple syrup optional, adjust to taste
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Sparkling water or soda optional for topping

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Peaches
- If you are using fresh peaches, peel them and slice them into chunks. Place the slices into a blender and blend until smooth to create fresh peach puree.
- For a smoother drink, strain the puree through a fine mesh strainer to remove any pulp.
Step 2: Fill the Shaker
- Add ice cubes to a cocktail shaker until it is about halfway full.
Step 3: Add the Ingredients
- Pour in:
- Peach puree or peach nectar
- Vodka
- Peach schnapps
- Fresh orange juice
- Lemon juice
- Simple syrup (if using)
Step 4: Shake Well
- Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15–20 seconds. This chills the drink and blends the flavors beautifully.
Step 5: Pour the Drink
- Fill two tall glasses with fresh ice cubes. Strain the drink mixture evenly into the glasses.
Step 6: Add Sparkle (Optional)
- For a lighter drink, top with a splash of sparkling water or club soda.
Step 7: Garnish
- Finish the drink with peach slices and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately and enjoy.
