Ingredients & Substitutions
- Peach Schnapps: Peach schnapps is a peach-flavored liqueur. You can substitute this with any type of peach flavored-liqueur. Or, if you don’t like the taste, you can use this peach simple syrup instead.
- Rum: Use your favorite type of white rum for this recipe. If you don’t like rum, you can use vodka or gin instead.
- Peach Juice: Use a store bought peach juice or nectar. If you can’t find pure peach juice, you can either use a juice blend or make your own peach juice using a juicer.
- Orange Juice: If you have the time, use freshly squeezed orange juice, otherwise use a high quality, pulp-free store bought one.
- Cranberry Juice: Use red cranberry juice to get the best two-toned cocktail color.
How To Make A Georgia Peach Drink
Step 1: Add the rum, peach juice, orange juice and peach schnapps together in a cocktail glass filled with ice. Stir.
Step 2: Gently pour the cranberry juice on top of the drink.
Expert Tips
- Pour the cranberry juice gently. Pour the cranberry juice slowly and gently on top of the middle of the cocktail to make sure it settles on top instead of sinking. Serve immediately because over time the cranberry juice will seep down into the drink.
- Use clear ice. This is a great drink to use cocktail ice. Clear ice will emphasize the bright colors in this drink even more.
- Add some garnish. If you are serving this drink to friends, add some garnish. Garnish ideas include slices of fresh peaches, cranberries, or orange slices. You can also add in a sprig of fresh herbs.
- Add an herby simple syrup. For a more complex flavor (and a bit of extra sweetness), add in a tablespoon of an herb-based simple syrup, such as this rosemary simple syrup or this thyme simple syrup.
Recipe FAQs
Not everyone likes the strong flavor of peach schnapps. If this is the case, you can replace the schnapps with this peach simple syrup. Simple syrup will add some sweetness, so you may want to add a dash of extra rum to balance out the flavors.
This cocktail works for basically any gathering! It is great for spring and summer barbecues, as a fancy brunch drink, pool parties, happy hour or a girls’ night get together.
