Ingredients

Makes: ca. 300 ml
Amounts are for the complete recipe — choose ½, 1 or 2.
8 cl Vodka
4 cl Peach liqueur (e.g. Peachtree)
8 cl Orange juice
8 cl Cranberry juice
2 cl Grenadine syrup
nach Bedarf Ice cubes
2 Stück Orange slices for garnish

Preparation

  1. 1 Fill the two glasses (e.g. highball or long drink glasses) with ice cubes and set them aside briefly so they get cold.
  2. 2 Put the vodka, peach liqueur, orange juice and cranberry juice into a shaker filled with ice cubes.
  3. 3 Shake the shaker vigorously for about 10–15 seconds until it frosts on the outside.
  4. 4 Pour the ice out of the chilled glasses and fill the glasses with fresh ice cubes.
  5. 5 Strain the mixture through the bar strainer into the prepared glasses.
  6. 6 Carefully pour 1 cl of grenadine syrup each lengthwise over the surface so that it slowly sinks downward and forms a color gradient.
  7. 7 Garnish each glass with half an orange slice on the rim and serve immediately.

Notes & tips

Variation: For the alcohol-free version, replace the vodka and peach liqueur with 8 cl peach juice and 2 cl lemon juice. If you prefer it less sweet, use only 1 cl grenadine. The grenadine syrup is intentionally not stirred – it sinks to the bottom and creates the typical color gradient. Stir briefly before drinking. The cocktail tastes best freshly mixed; it does not keep well if prepared in advance.
