Prepare Your Glass: Start by filling a highball glass with ice cubes. This ensures your cocktail stays cold and refreshing from the first sip to the last.
Add the Whiskey: Pour 2 oz of Irish whiskey over the ice. I like to use a smooth, quality whiskey, but any Irish brand will work well.
Mix in Peach Schnapps: Next, add 1 oz of peach schnapps. This brings a subtle sweetness and fruity flavor to the drink, balancing the boldness of the whiskey.
Pour in Orange Juice: Add 1 oz of orange juice. Freshly squeezed is always best, but bottled works fine too. The citrusy note adds brightness to the cocktail.
Top with Ginger Ale: Finish off by topping the drink with 3 oz of ginger ale. It adds a bubbly, slightly spicy touch that complements the other ingredients beautifully.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with a slice of orange and, if you're feeling fancy, a sprig of fresh mint. Now, give the drink a quick stir and enjoy!
