Cîroc Peach Recipe

Cocktail

1. 1

   Prepare glass

   Chill a coupe or a rocks glass by filling it with ice water while you build the cocktail (about 2–3 minutes). Drain before pouring.

2. 2

   Combine ingredients

   In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz Cîroc Peach vodka, 0.5 oz peach schnapps, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.25 oz simple syrup, 2 oz white cranberry juice, and 0.5 oz peach purée. Add a generous handful of ice (about 1 cup).

3. 3

   Shake

   Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is well chilled and the outside is frosty. This properly chills and dilutes the cocktail and integrates the purée.

4. 4

   Strain

   Double-strain the mixture into the chilled coupe or a rocks glass filled with fresh ice (use a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to catch any pulp).

5. 5

   Top (optional)

   If you prefer a lighter, slightly effervescent drink, top with about 1 oz club soda. Gently stir once to combine.

6. 6

   Garnish and serve

   Garnish with a fresh peach slice on the rim and a mint sprig tucked beside it. Serve immediately.
