Cocktail
Prepare glass
Choose a tall Collins or highball glass (12–16 oz). Fill the glass about three-quarters full with ice (approximately 1 cup).
Add liqueur and juices
Pour 1.5 oz Peachtree schnapps, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, and 1 oz pomegranate juice over the ice.
Top with Red Bull and sparkling water
Slowly pour 4 oz Red Bull into the glass, then add 1 oz chilled sparkling water. Pouring slowly preserves carbonation and creates a layered effervescence.
Stir gently
Using a bar spoon, stir gently 3–4 times to combine the liqueur and juices with the Red Bull and sparkling water without flattening the carbonation.
Garnish and finish
Drop 1 tablespoon pomegranate seeds into the drink and finish with a lemon wheel or twist on the rim. Serve immediately with a straw or stir stick.
Optional adjustments
If you prefer a sweeter drink, increase pomegranate juice to 1.5 oz. For a tarter profile, use 0.75 oz lemon juice. Use sugar-free Red Bull if you want fewer calories — adjust sweetness to taste.
