Notes

For extra creaminess: Shake the ingredients in a cocktail shaker before pouring over ice.
Like it sweeter? Add a splash of vanilla syrup or honey.
Want it stronger? Increase the vodka to 1 oz for a bolder sip.
No raspberry liqueur? Try grenadine for a similar fruity touch.

Helpful Tips

For a frozen version: Blend all ingredients with ice for a creamy boozy milkshake.
Make it chocolatey: Add a drizzle of chocolate syrup inside the glass before pouring the drink.
Dairy-free option: Use coconut cream or almond milk for a lighter version.
Hosting a party? Multiply the ingredients and serve in small dessert glasses for a fun treat!

Conservation and Storage

Best served fresh! This drink is best enjoyed immediately after preparation.
Pre-mixing tip: You can mix the vodka, peach schnapps, and cream ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Add ice, raspberry liqueur, and toppings just before serving.
No freezing: The dairy can separate when frozen, so it’s not recommended.

Substitutions and Variations

No Peach Schnapps? Use apricot liqueur or vanilla vodka for a twist.
Prefer a non-alcoholic version? Replace alcohol with peach juice, vanilla syrup, and raspberry syrup.
Extra indulgent? Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a boozy float!
