The Peach & Ginger Snap
About
The Peach & Ginger Snap is what happens when a Mule gets a fruit-forward upgrade. It keeps the familiar ginger beer bite but layers in ripe peach and bright orange notes for a drink that feels bolder, juicier, and more expressive. Sipsmith London Dry Gin brings backbone and botanicals, Cointreau adds clean citrus depth, and peach schnapps softens the spice with round, lush sweetness.
Served over crushed ice in a rocks glass, this cocktail stays cold and lively from the first sip to the last. The ginger beer snaps on the finish, cutting through the fruit and keeping the drink refreshing rather than heavy. It’s playful but well-balanced, spicy without being aggressive, and easy to keep sipping. Perfect for warm evenings, casual hangs, or anytime you want something energetic without being complicated.
Shaken or Stirred? Shaken, then topped. Shaking blends the fruit and citrus before the ginger beer adds lift.
