Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) vodka
- 1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) peach schnapps
- 1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) coconut rum
- 2 ounces (1/4 cup) orange juice
- 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) pineapple juice
- Ice cubes
For Garnish (Optional):
- Orange slice
- Maraschino cherry
- Pineapple Wedge
Instructions
- Combine Liquors: In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, peach schnapps, and coconut rum.
- Add Juices: Add the orange juice and pineapple juice to the shaker.
- Add Ice and Shake: Fill the cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Close the shaker tightly. Shake well for 15-20 seconds, or until the outside of the shaker feels very cold. This chills and dilutes the drink slightly, creating the perfect balance.
- Prepare Glass: Fill a serving glass (highball, hurricane, or your favorite cocktail glass) with ice cubes.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the cocktail from the shaker into the ice-filled glass. This will remove any ice chips and create a smooth drink.
- Garnish (Optional): Garnish with an orange slice, a maraschino cherry, a pineapple wedge or a combination, if desired.
- Serve Immediately.
Notes
- Vodka: Use your preferred brand of vodka.
- Coconut Rum: Adds a tropical flavor; brands like Malibu are common.
- Orange and Pineapple Juice: Freshly squeezed juices will give the best flavor, but store-bought juice works well too.
- Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding a little simple syrup or more pineapple/orange juice.
- Serving Suggestions: This cocktail is perfect for parties, summer gatherings, or any time you want a taste of the tropics.
- Make it a Mocktail: For a non-alcoholic version, omit the vodka and rums and increase the juice portions.
