FAQ's

Preparation techniques icon

How do I properly combine the ingredients for the Isotope cocktail?

To create the Isotope cocktail, start by combining the peach schnapps, triple sec, orange juice, and melon liqueur in a shaker filled with ice. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon into the mix and shake well. Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with ice, and top it off with lemonade. Stir gently before serving.

Serving suggestions icon

What is the best way to serve the Isotope cocktail?

The Isotope cocktail is best served in a highball glass filled with ice to keep it cold and refreshing. Garnishing with a slice of lemon or a twist can add a nice visual touch and a hint of extra lemon flavor, enhancing the overall experience.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute any ingredients in the Isotope recipe if I don't have them available?

Yes, substitutions are possible in the Isotope cocktail. If you don't have peach schnapps, you can use a peach-flavored liqueur or vodka. For triple sec, feel free to use another type of orange-flavored liqueur. If melon liqueur is unavailable, a dash of melon syrup with a splash of vodka can work as a substitute. However, note that substitutions may alter the original taste and alcohol content.
