Ingredients
Scale
- 1 oz Vodka (high-quality vodka is recommended for a smooth finish)
- 1 oz Peach Schnapps (provides the fruity, sweet base)
- 1/2 oz Sweet and Sour Mix (can be store-bought or homemade)
- Splash of Lemon-Lime Soda (adds a refreshing fizz)
- Ice (for shaking)
Optional for Garnish:
- Thin lemon slices or mint leaves
Instructions
- Fill the Shaker with Ice: Add ice cubes to a cocktail shaker, filling it halfway to ensure proper chilling.
- Add Ingredients: Measure and add the vodka, peach schnapps, and sweet and sour mix to the shaker.
- Shake Thoroughly: Secure the lid and shake the ingredients vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well combined and chilled.
- Strain into Shot Glasses: Use a strainer to pour the mixture into shot glasses, leaving the ice behind for a smooth pour.
- Top with Lemon-Lime Soda: Add a small splash of lemon-lime soda to each shot for a fizzy, refreshing finish.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the shots fresh, chilled, and enjoy with friends!
Notes
- Chill Your Glassware: For an extra refreshing experience, chill your shot glasses in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before serving.
- Homemade Sweet and Sour Mix: For the best taste, use a homemade sweet and sour mix by combining 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of water, and equal parts fresh lemon and lime juice.
- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet shot, reduce the amount of peach schnapps or use diet lemon-lime soda.
- Variations: Try muddling some fresh mint in the shaker before adding other ingredients for a refreshing twist or add a splash of cranberry juice for a tart variation.
- Non-Alcoholic Option: For a mocktail version, substitute vodka with sparkling water and use peach juice instead of peach schnapps.
These details should help ensure the recipe is easy to follow, adaptable, and suitable for anyone looking to create a memorable, party-perfect shot!
