The American Skittles cocktail is best served cold in a pint glass. After combining the Peach Schnapps and Cherry liqueur, top it up with Lemonade and give it a gentle stir to integrate all the flavors. It's not shaken but stirred to maintain its clarity and fizziness.
How can I customize the American Skittles cocktail to suit my taste?
You can customize the American Skittles cocktail by adjusting the ratio of Peach Schnapps and Cherry liqueur according to your taste preference for sweetness or strength.

Can I substitute a component of the American Skittles cocktail?
Yes, if you're looking to substitute an ingredient in the American Skittles cocktail, consider using a different fruit liqueur in place of Cherry liqueur.
