Notes

• Fresh-squeezed orange juice makes a noticeable difference—use it if you can!
• To add texture and flair, consider a sugar rim or splash of club soda on top.
• Sloe gin adds color and subtle berry notes—don’t skip it if you want that layered flavor.

Helpful Tips

• Chill your glass ahead of time to keep your drink cool longer.
• To reduce sweetness, add a splash of lemon juice or top with club soda.
• Want a boozier version? Add an extra ½ oz of vodka or sub in bourbon for a Southern twist.

Conservation and Storage

• This cocktail is best enjoyed fresh, right after shaking.
• However, you can pre-mix the vodka, peach liqueur, and sloe gin in a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
• Add orange juice and shake with ice just before serving to preserve its vibrant freshness and texture.

Substitutions and Variations

Substitutions:

• Peach liqueur: Try peach schnapps, apricot brandy, or orange liqueur for a different twist.
• Sloe gin: Use Chambord or raspberry liqueur if you want a berry tone and can’t find sloe gin.

Variations:

• Add a splash of Prosecco or sparkling wine on top for a brunch-ready version.
• Blend with ice for a frozen Peach Blossom Fizz—perfect for summer days.
• Rim the glass with citrus sugar or vanilla salt for an elevated finish.

Storage Instructions

• Store any leftover pre-mix (vodka, peach liqueur, sloe gin) in a sealed bottle in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
• Always add orange juice and ice fresh before serving.
• Avoid freezing or pre-mixing with juice to maintain optimal flavor and texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does sloe gin taste like?

Sloe gin has a lightly sweet, slightly tart berry flavor, often compared to plum or cherry. It’s not overly strong and pairs beautifully with citrus and stone fruits.

Can I make this for a crowd?

Yes! Multiply the recipe by your number of guests and pre-mix in a pitcher. Shake or stir individual servings with ice for best results.

Can I use store-bought orange juice?

You can — just go for not-from-concentrate or pulp-free for the cleanest, smoothest flavor.

Is this cocktail sweet?

Yes, it’s naturally sweet thanks to the orange juice and peach liqueur, but it’s balanced by the botanicals in sloe gin. You can reduce sweetness with lemon juice or soda water.

Conclusion

The Peach Blossom Fizz is fruity, floral, and full of feel-good flavor. Whether you’re mixing one up for yourself or batching a pitcher for brunch, this cocktail delivers a colorful sip of sunshine in every glass. It’s equal parts pretty and punchy — just the way we like it.
