Our Favorite Drinks That Use Peach Schnapps

Fuzzy Navel With Peach Schnapps And Orange Juice

This is a really easy recipe to follow, and you can make this in no time at all at home. You  just need orange juice, ice cubes and of course some peach schnapps. And here you have it!

Again, perfecting this might take a few attempts just to get the measurements right to suit your taste – there is not a perfect ratio that we can recommend to you. This is something for you to try out on your own, and just flavor the drink to suit you.

Peach Schnapps-Based Summer Short Shooters

This might sound like it should be some sort of shot or some kind of fizzy drink in a bottle. But, this is not quite where we are heading with the summer short shooters. These drinks – as the name suggests – makes this the perfect summer drink, and they have quite the concoction of ingredients to give you the perfect drink.

To make this drink you will need a whiskey of your personal choice, alongside a coffee liqueur and an Irish cream liqueur. Additionally you will need some chilled orange juice and of course the peach schnapps!

To give this that extra summer taste you can also accompany the drink with a scoop of vanilla ice cream in a chilled shot glass – this will give your drink that absolutely blissful taste of summer. And if you are a lover of warm, citrus flavors then this will be the perfect drink for you. 

Peach Schnapps Gingery Long Drink

Well, this is a pretty easy drink to make – a lot less ingredients than the summer shooter has. This drink is perfect for some chilled drinks, or you could create your own beach party and serve this in a bucket or some other fun receptacle. 

So, you need to make sure you have a lot of ice – the more chilled this is the better – then get some vodka, peach schnapps and a dash of amaretto. You should top up this drink with ginger ale, or ginger beer as you might know it as.

You can even get creative with how you choose to decorate your drink – you can use lemon wedges and maybe even some ginger(see also: Ginger Shot) juliennes just to spice up your drink a bit. 

Bizarre Halloween Alcoholic Liquor Punch

This is the peach schnapps drink that you want to make if you are having a P-A-R-T-Y! Especially if you are a lover of the spooky season favorite that is Halloween. This is essentially your opportunity to throw everything into a punch bowl, mix it all together and see what flavor you come up with.

Feel free to add white rum, gin, vodka – of course peach schnapps and whatever juices suit your taste. These juices could be cranberry, raspberry, pineapple – or even orange. Just use what you have to create your own concoction – and you can adjust the taste to suit you. You might want to add more alcohol, or add more juice – or both! Either way, you should be able to come up with something that will be a general crowd pleaser.

So you need to get your peach schnapps and some sort of citrus vodka. We recommend having lemonade as a mixer, but you can use whatever mixer you prefer, you could also add some cans of frozen peaches and you could also add a bottle of white wine(see also: Best Single Bottle Wine Chillers – Our Reviews and Guide).

This drink would be best served in a punch bowl with lots of ice to keep that flavor locked in. You could even consider getting out that trusty vanilla ice cream to top the drink with! Trust us when we say that this actually goes pretty well with peach schnapps!

Try and make sure that you keep these shots chilled before you drink them.
