Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.7 / 5
The Derek Jeter Shooter is a vibrant and sweet-flavored cocktail served in a shot glass that pays whimsical homage to the famous baseball player. With a playful mix of peach schnapps and orange liqueur, this shooter lays the foundation for a fruity and inviting base. The addition of grenadine introduces a sweet, syrupy depth, characterizing the drink with its signature bright red hue at the bottom. Capping it with a dollop of whipped cream creates a creamy contrast, both in flavor and presentation, complementing the fruity sharpness with a smooth finish. The drink is characterized by its cold temperature and layered appearance, which makes for a visually striking shot that is a conversation starter at any gathering.
