What You’ll Need
Ingredients
- Irish Whiskey – smooth base spirit with gentle vanilla and honey notes
- Peach Brandy – adds floral sweetness and soft fruit aroma
- Orange Juice – brings freshness and natural sweetness
- Lemon Juice – sharpens the mix with tart brightness
- Simple Syrup – rounds edges and ties citrus to spirit
- Orange Slice & Cherry – visual pop and a classic garnish

- Jigger
Why It Works
The drink balances whiskey’s depth with crisp citrus and ripe peach sweetness. It’s approachable, colorful, and refreshing—more vibrant than a Whiskey Sour but lighter than an Old Fashioned.
Variations
- Swap Peach Brandy for apricot or pear liqueur.
- Add soda water for a lighter highball version.
- Use a single-malt Irish whiskey for richer body.
Tips
Chill your ingredients before mixing. Fresh-squeezed juices make a noticeable difference. For parties, batch the mix (without ice) and stir individual servings to order.
