Equipment

  • Highball glass
  • Jigger (or a small measuring cup)
  • Stirring spoon
  • Knife and cutting board (for garnishes)

Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz Irish whiskey your favorite brand works
  • 1 oz peach schnapps
  • 3 oz ginger ale
  • 1 oz orange juice
  • Ice cubes
  • Orange slice for garnish
  • Mint sprig optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • 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!
