Schnapps

Georgia Pie

Orange cocktail against gray background

With a name like Georgia Pie, you might expect this cocktail to contain Southern Comfort and taste peachy. And you’d be right. The Georgia Pie cocktail delivers the peachy flavor on two different levels: the Southern Comfort and the peach schnapps. Add to that some pineapple juice and just a touch of grenadine for color ...

Undertow

Blue cocktail in shot glass

The Undertow is a 100% alcohol shooter cocktail that balances sweet with tangy very nicely. The sweet comes from the raspberry schnapps and the tangy from the orange flavor of the blue curacao. It’s also one of the simplest drinks you’ll ever pour, so if you have any concerns about your skills as a bartender, ... Read the full article →

Grape Russian Tea

Dark fizzy drink being poured

The Grape Russian Tea cocktail has nothing to do with tea. The only thing it has to do with Russia is that it has vodka. It does have something to do with grape, though – grape schnapps, to be exact.  One of those little-used drink ingredients that will make you think “Where have you been ... Read the full article →

Fat Charley

Yellowish cocktail with lemon wedges

The Fat Charley cocktail features the flavors of orange, coconut and banana with a touch of cranberry just to marry it all together. This cocktail has enough of a tropical feel that drinking it during winter can make you feel like you’re somewhere warm and balmy. It’s a double – three ounces of alcohol – ...

Candy Cane

Candy Cane Martini

The Candy Cane is a fabulous holiday dessert drink. Of course, you don’t have to save it for dessert – it’s just deliciously sweet enough that you could. With a name like Candy Cane, you might expect this cocktail to be peppermint flavored, and it certainly does have that element. But there’s so much more: ... Read the full article →

Christmas Cookie

Christmas Cookie

With a name like the Christmas Cookie, this cocktail sounds innocent enough. But be forewarned: it really packs a wallop with three ounces of alcohol. It tastes a little like a peppermint latte, only much better. This makes a delicious dessert drink. Feel free to try other brands of coffee liqueur and Irish cream – ... Read the full article →

Chocolate Peppermint Stick

peppermint

The Chocolate Peppermint Stick tastes exactly like you’d expect from the name. The main flavor is overwhelmingly peppermint, but the creme de cacao is strong, too. If you’ve ever had one of those peppermint sticks that has a chocolatey ribbon woven through it instead of the usual red fruity ones, that’s about what this drink tastes ... Read the full article →

Santa Shot

Nice three-layered cocktail isolated on white with clipping path

The Santa Shot is a gorgeous little red and green layered shot that tastes like a candy cane. It’s Christmas ascetics combined with Christmas flavors, and it packs plenty of Christmas spirit. You might even want to leave one out for Santa with his cookies. This is a great treat for parties, especially as an ... Read the full article →

Laffy Taffy

colored fluid drops and ripples

This is another one for the kiddies. The Laffy Taffy cocktail is so named because it tastes a lot like the candy. With the very significant difference of potentially getting you drunk. That potential is no laffing matter. This cocktail boasts 3.5 ounces of alcohol – all of it candy-flavored. Laffy Taffy 1 ounce peach ... Read the full article →

Nagshead Lemonade

nagshead

The Nagshead Lemonade cocktail is very drinkable, but it’s not for kiddies: it uses gin. Anytime a cocktail involves gin, it’s acquired taste time. Refined palate time. Whatever it is, a drink like this is not so much for the Jack and Coke set. That said, the Nagshead Lemonade is not a difficult drink to ... Read the full article →

Big Bird

765712_pineapple_juice

The Big Bird cocktail is so named because it’s very yellow, just like the “Sesame Street” character. But there the resemblance ends. This drink pairs one ounce of alcohol with five ounces of fruit juice, so it’s almost healthy. If you want to add a kick, just replace some of the fruit juice with rum ... Read the full article →

Halley’s Comfort

1226240_tropical_fruit_on_white

Halley’s Comfort is peach schnapps and peach liqueur combined with ice and club soda. Guess what it tastes like? Yep – peaches! But that’s a great flavor. It predominates in beloved cocktails like Sex on the Beach. In fact, if you secretly love Sex on the Beach but are embarrassed to order it because some ... Read the full article →

Vanilla Creamsicle

935307_milky_swirl

The Vanilla Creamsicle uses milk as a mixer. Therefore, you may be tempted to argue that it’s a health drink. You would be wrong. This drink contains ridiculous amounts of alcohol – four and a half ounces, to be precise. That ranks it up there with the Zombie. (You can weaken this one for those ... Read the full article →

Moscow Moose

842772_glass

The Moscow Moose is super simple, but super delicious. No frou frou here – in fact, the entire drink is pure alcohol. You can always serve it over the rocks if that’s a bit strong for you (or for the occasion). I tend to associate this one with winter time and frosty weather because of ... Read the full article →

Fuzzy Prick

fuzzyprick

Yes, the Fuzzy Prick really is a cocktail. It’s also a great way to insult a guy while pretending to be hospitable. Like, if you’re buying the first round, you guess what everyone wants, and when you get to the guy you don’t like, you say, “And you – Fuzzy Prick?” And he gets all ... Read the full article →

Fuzzy Navel

941473_orange

The Fuzzy Navel is basically a screwdriver with peach schnapps instead of vodka. It’s an extremely simple cocktail to mix, a little on the sweet and fruity side. There are variations that add rum into the mix, with all the ingredients being one part each. But the most common recipe is simple peach schnapps and ... Read the full article →

Peach Dream Cocktail

peachdream

There’s more than one recipe called a Peach Dream. This one uses cream, which seems most appropriate with peaches. It’s a fun little sweet treat, like something you might have been served at a soda counter in the 1950s, except with alcohol. Some drinkers might find this drink a little cloying with the use of ...

Sex on the Beach

stockxpertcom_id4818441_jpg_72428bc8799a15a028ca83151502d0a6

Please, no puns on the name of this drink. Whatever you think of – it’s been done. However clever you think it is – it’s not. Even if your friends giggle and snort, that’s just because they’re a bunch of doofuses. And so are you. But what the hell? That’s what kind of a drink ... Read the full article →
