Peach Schnapps Cocktails

Peach Schnapps cocktails are typically delicious.

And by delicious, I mean sweet. Quite often mixed with Orange or Cranberry juice, Peach Schnapps cocktails tend to be on the sweet side…and that’s great by me!

In addition to being sweet, Peach Schnapps cocktails also tend to be very refreshing and a lot of them strike me as summer drinks.

Sound good? Let’s get mixing!
