Fozzy Bear is a playful, modern highball that leans into the bright, candy-coloured side of mixed drinks, built for easy sipping and big aroma rather than cocktail-house tradition. With a split base of gin and liqueurs, it sits in that late-20th-century party-drink lane where bold flavours and eye-catching combinations take centre stage. You’ll find it reads more like a spirited long drink than a classic, with the highball format keeping everything light and lively.
On the palate, peach schnapps brings soft, upfront fruit sweetness that immediately smooths the gin’s crisp, botanical edge. Galliano adds a rich, perfumed sweetness that deepens the mid-palate, while blue Aftershock contributes a sharp, sugary kick that brightens the overall profile. Topped with lemonade, the drink finishes long and fizzy, with the citrusy sweetness tying the fruit and herbal notes together.
Serve it tall and cold when you want something fun, sweet-leaning, and crowd-friendly—ideal for house parties, pre-drinks, or any night where you’re after easy refreshment with a bit of a punchy twist. If you enjoy liqueur-forward highballs and aren’t shy about sweetness, this one is right in your lane.

Ingredients
Cocktail Colin says:
Peach schnapps leads with juicy, candy-like stone fruit, while gin adds a crisp botanical edge; Galliano brings sweet vanilla-anise depth, and blue Aftershock flashes icy cinnamon-mint heat, all stretched into a fizzy, lemony lemonade finish. It works because the lemonade’s citrus and bubbles lift the heavy liqueur sweetness and the Aftershock spice snaps it into focus, ideal for drinkers who like loud, sweet, aromatic highballs.

What can I use as a substitute for Aftershock (Blue) in the Fozzy Bear cocktail?
