Wow, what a delightful drink! 🍑 This is such a refreshing combo with its perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors. The peach schnapps and grenadine give it a gorgeous color too! Ideal for anyone who loves a fruity, mildly sweet sip! 🌸✨
Tasty and perfect for Spring season! It was enough to fill my martini glass that I had to double the measurements.
it’s definitely interesting but it wasn’t my cup of tea; too strong on the citrus side. i ended up recreating it by adding 1.5oz of tequila and 3oz of orange juice instead of 1 and even tho this could also use some work, to me it was better than whatever this was
Great taste but more of a shot than a cocktail!
i added less lemon and more orange juice because it was very citrusy and couldnt fill my glass but it tasted great
