Sips & Tips

Technique

Use fresh-squeezed orange juice if possible — it makes a noticeable difference. Shake hard to integrate the juices and create a slightly frothy texture.

Balance

The cranberry juice provides tartness to offset the sweet peach schnapps. Adjust the ratio to taste — more cranberry for drier, more OJ for sweeter.
