Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 oz vodka per serving
  • 3 oz peach nectar per serving
  • 1 oz fresh orange juice per serving
  • ½ oz simple syrup per serving
  • ½ oz orange liqueur (optional, per serving)
  • Ice cubes
  • Orange sugar or sanding sugar for rim
  • Orange wedge for rim
  • Orange slice or wheel for garnish (optional)
  • Fresh peach slice for garnish (optional)
  • Cinnamon stick for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glass rim: Run an orange wedge around the rim of your glass, then dip it into a small plate filled with orange sugar or sanding sugar. Rotate gently to coat evenly and tap off excess. Let sit for a minute.
  2. Fill the glass with ice: Add large ice cubes to the glass, filling it about three-quarters full.
  3. Add the vodka: Pour 2 ounces of vodka over the ice.
  4. Add the peach nectar: Pour 3 ounces of peach nectar into the glass.
  5. Add the orange juice: Pour 1 ounce of fresh orange juice into the glass.
  6. Add simple syrup (and optional orange liqueur): Add ½ ounce of simple syrup. If using orange liqueur, add ½ ounce now.
  7. Stir gently: Use a stirring spoon to combine all ingredients for about 15-20 seconds until the color is a uniform, glowing orange.
  8. Garnish and serve: Add an orange slice or wheel to the rim of the glass. If desired, float a fresh peach slice on top. Serve immediately.

Notes

Chill all ingredients beforehand to minimize ice melt. For a party, mix the base (vodka, peach nectar, orange juice, simple syrup) in a pitcher ahead of time and refrigerate. Do not add ice to the pitcher. Use large ice cubes to prevent dilution. Taste before serving and adjust sweetness or acidity as needed.
