Ingredients
1 oz vodka, chilled
1 oz peach schnapps
1 oz cranberry juice, chilled
½ oz orange juice (optional, for brighter citrus flavor)
Orange slice or twist (optional, for garnish)
Ice (for shaking)
Instructions
Chill your shot glasses. Pop them in the freezer for 10–15 minutes to help keep the layers crisp and clean.
Mix the base. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the vodka, peach schnapps, and optional orange juice. Shake lightly to chill.
Strain and pour. Divide the mixture evenly into 3–4 chilled shot glasses, filling about two-thirds full.
Layer the cranberry. Slowly pour cranberry juice over the back of a spoon into each glass. It will settle at the bottom, creating a gorgeous layered effect.
Garnish. Add a small orange twist or slice to each glass if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
Use peach-flavored vodka to boost the fruitiness even more.
Want it extra tart? Swap orange juice for lime or grapefruit juice.
No shaker? Stir ingredients over ice in a glass, then strain.
Pre-mix the base ahead of time, but always layer cranberry juice right before serving to preserve the visual effect.
This recipe makes 3–4 shots, depending on your glass size—double up for a crowd!
