1
Chill glass
Place a champagne flute or a tall Collins glass in the freezer for 5 minutes, or fill it with ice water while you assemble ingredients to chill, then discard the ice water before building the drink.
2
Add ice
If using a Collins glass, add the ice cubes to the chilled glass. For a flute, you can skip ice and serve without it.
3
Measure and pour schnapps
Pour 45 ml peach schnapps into the glass over the ice (or into the chilled flute). This is the cocktail's peach backbone.
4
Add orange juice
Add 90 ml fresh orange juice to the glass. If using a flute, pour gently to avoid splashing.
5
Top with sparkling wine
Slowly top the mixture with 60 ml chilled sparkling wine (Champagne or Prosecco). Pour gently down the side of the glass or over the back of a spoon to preserve bubbles.
6
Combine gently
Give the drink a gentle stir once or twice with a bar spoon to integrate the schnapps and juice without flattening the sparkling wine.

7
Garnish
Thread the orange wheel (and optional cocktail cherry) on the rim or skewer and place on top of the glass.
8
Serve immediately while the sparkling wine is still bubbly. Provide a straw for a Collins glass or serve neat in the flute.
