An Homage to...

PEACH SCHNAPPS.

No, you didn't misread that.

Peach schnapps has been given a bad name. Perhaps you drank too much of it when you were 14? Perhaps you think of it as a perennial girly drink ingredient? While we've all been guilty of drinking it out of the bottle on a warm summer's day (just me?), peach schnapps is more suitable as a guest star in cocktails. Like its syrupy, intensely flavoured liqueur cousins (lychee and melon, I'm looking at you), all you need is a splash.


Liquid Peach Cobbler
One of many cocktails that taste like food...

1 1/2 oz. dark rum
1/2 oz. peach schnapps
pink lemonade
ginger beer
cinnamon

In a highball, add liquor over ice, fill almost to the top with pink lemonade and finish with a splash of ginger beer. Sprinkle cinnamon on top.


The Brunch Bomb
pairs wonderfully with bacon and eggs

1 1/2 oz. vodka
1/2 oz. peach schnapps
grapefruit juice
grenadine

In a highball, add liquor over ice, fill almost to the top with grapefruit juice, and slowly pour grenadine down the inside of the glass for that "sunrise" effect.


The "Ms. Montana"
all the flavours of the southern states in a glass

1 1/2 oz. Jack Daniels
1/2 oz. peach schnapps
pink lemonade
apple cider

In a highball, add liquor over ice, top up with half lemonade and half cider.
