What It Tastes Like
Imagine sweet peach nectar laced with smooth, spicy rye whiskey—then chased with a blast of carbonated energy fizz.
It’s bright, boozy, and a little electrifying. The peach schnapps sweetens things up and mellows the rye’s heat, while the energy drink (whatever your fave may be) keeps it lively and refreshing.
It’s easy-drinking, unexpectedly smooth, and a little rebellious—just like its name.

Helpful Tips
- Use chilled energy drink to keep the drink from going flat too fast.
- Go big or go mini: This cocktail can be doubled for a stronger hit or served as a shot for a party starter.
- Want it fizzier? Use a little more energy drink or top it off just before sipping.
- Prefer bourbon? Swap out the rye for a sweeter twist.
Conservation and Storage
This cocktail is meant to be made fresh and served immediately. Due to the carbonation from the energy drink, it doesn’t store well. No batch prepping on this one!
Substitutions and Variations
- No rye whiskey? Use bourbon or even spiced rum for a different kind of warmth.
- Low-sugar version: Use a sugar-free or light energy drink.
- Add a citrus twist: A quick squeeze of lemon or lime adds a nice brightness.
- Make it a shot: Combine equal parts in a shaker with ice, strain into a shot glass for a party-friendly version.
Storage Instructions
- Don’t store once mixed—consume immediately for the best flavor and fizz.
- You can pre-measure the schnapps and whiskey in advance, but don’t add the energy drink until serving time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use another type of whiskey?
Absolutely! Bourbon, Tennessee whiskey, or even a blended whiskey will work. Rye just gives it a nice peppery edge.
What energy drink should I use?
Use your favorite—Red Bull, Monster, Rockstar, or even a fruity energy soda. Each brings its own twist.
Is this drink very strong?
It’s moderate—between the sweetness of the schnapps and the light pour, it’s smooth but sneaky. Go easy if you’re sipping a few!
