Written by: Scott vAn Dort
The Absolut Peach Surrender is an easy-to-make summer drink, built directly in the glass – no shaking, no stirring, no blending!
Sweet, fruity and oh-so-peachy, the Absolut Peach Surrender is one of those drinks that just begs to be sipped while lounging on the porch or garden chair, shades on, soaking up every last bit of the sun.
Ingredients
- 45 ml Absolut Peach
- 1 Teaspoon Grenadine
- Fresh Orange Juice
- 1 Fresh Cherry
- Ice Cubes
What You’ll Need
- Jigger
- Knife
- Peeler
- Juicer (preferred, but optional)
- Citrus Press or Citrus Elbow (if you don’t have a juicer)
- Bar Spoon
- Rocks Glass
How to Mix
- Fill a pre-chilled rocks glass with ice cubes.
- Use a jigger to measure and pour 45 ml Absolut Peach into the glass.
- Use the back of a bar spoon to gently pour a teaspoon of grenadine into the glass.
- Use a peeler to remove the peel from your oranges.
- Decide how you’ll juice your oranges:
a. If using a centrifugal juicer, keep the oranges whole.
b. If juicing by hand with a citrus press or citrus elbow, cut the oranges in half. - Juice the oranges using your preferred method.
- Top up your glass with freshly squeezed orange juice.
- Garnish with a fresh cherry.
Add a twist
- If you prefer your drinks on the sweeter side, add a splash of peach liqueur – a flavored spirit that enhances peach flavor and adds sweetness. To balance things out, swap Absolut Peach for original Absolut Vodka.
- Mix Absolut Vodka, orange juice, peach schnapps and cranberry juice for an Absolut on the Beach (aka Sex on the Beach).
- To change up your Absolut Peach Surrender garnish, use a fresh peach wedge to highlight the peachiness and skip the maraschino cherry – letting everyone know, “This drink is bursting with peach flavor!”
- Alternatively, choose an orange wedge and leave out the cherry for a citrusy twist.
Common questions
Still looking for tips and inspiration for Absolut Peach Surrender? We’ll leave you with these common questions.
While they’re both peach-forward drinks, an Absolut Peach Surrender is made with Absolut Peach and orange juice, whereas a Sex on the Beach (aka Absolut on the Beach) is made with Absolut Vodka, orange juice, peach schnapps and cranberry juice.
Yes, you can but if you want to create drinks that taste like the ones you get at a bar, always juice fresh.
If you have a centrifugal juicer at home, you can create drinks that have a mouthfeel that can only be described as “fluffy”. And the taste? Wow – what a difference aeration makes! There’s simply no comparison.
First, make simple syrup by combining equal parts sugar and water. Next, cut open a pomegranate, discard everything but the seeds. Place the seeds in a saucepan with the simple syrup, bring to a boil, then let it simmer. Refrigerate the mixture overnight.
The next day, your mixture is ready to fine strain into a jug or bottle with a cap. Voila! You’ve now got grenadine ready for your drinks!
