1
Prepare glass
Chill a Collins or highball glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes, or fill it with ice while you prepare the cocktail and discard that ice before serving if you prefer a colder glass.
2
Build the base
In a cocktail shaker, add the white peach syrup, cranberry juice, fresh orange juice and fresh lemon juice. Fill the shaker halfway with ice.
3
Shake
Shake vigorously for 8–12 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty and the juices are well combined and chilled.
4
Strain over fresh ice
Fill the chilled Collins/highball glass with fresh cubed ice (about 1 cup). Strain the shaken mixture into the glass, leaving about 1/2–1 inch of headroom for the seltzer.
5
Top with seltzer
Gently pour 3 oz cold lemon seltzer over the back of a spoon into the glass (or pour slowly) to preserve effervescence. Stir gently once or twice with a bar spoon to integrate but keep bubbles.
6
Garnish and serve
Thread a white peach slice (or fresh cranberries or an orange twist) on a pick or float the peach on top. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.

Notes: If you prefer a lighter sweetness, reduce the white peach syrup to 0.75 oz. To make homemade white peach syrup, simmer equal parts peeled chopped white peaches, sugar and water (1:1:1 by weight) for 10 minutes, mash, strain and cool.
