3.83 / 5
The Smokey Bottom is a refreshing cocktail that combines the fruit-forward sweetness of peach schnapps with the tangy kick of apple liqueur, topped off with the effervescence of Smirnoff Ice. This cocktail is typically served in a pint glass, emphasizing its casual and sociable character, ideal for slow sipping on a sunny afternoon or at a relaxed gathering. With its unique blend of flavors, the Smokey Bottom delivers a pleasing mixture of sweetness, tartness, and a subtle hint of smokiness that may come from the peaty notes often associated with the name, creating an easy-drinking experience that's both flavorful and spirited.
