🧂 Ingredients
This is an overview of the ingredients. You’ll find the full measurements and instructions in the printable recipe at the bottom of the page.
You’ll need the following for this summer drink:
- Whipped cream vodka
- Fresh peach
- Sugar
- Heavy cream or half and half
- Ice
- Fresh mint (optional)
🍴Instructions
Step One: prepping the peach
Start off by quartering your peach and removing the stone. Chop up the succulent peach flesh into little bits.
Toss these peach bits into your cocktail shaker and sprinkle some sugar over them. Now comes the fun part – muddling! Using a muddler or the end of a wooden spoon, crush those juicy peach chunks till you have a peachy puree at the bottom of your shaker.
Step Two
Now, pour in your whipped cream vodka and half & half into the shaker. Drop in some ice cubes, seal that lid tight, and shake it for a good 15-20 seconds. You want all those flavors to mingle and chill out together.
Once your cocktail’s shaken up, it’s time to serve. Pour it out into a glass, making sure to get all the ice and peachy bits. Garnish with a fresh mint leaf or a peach slice if you’d like, and serve right away.

🔍 FAQs
Vanilla is fine. But you should get some! It’s good!
Absolutely! While fresh peaches give this cocktail a distinct summery vibe, you can definitely use canned peaches when fresh ones are hard to come by.
No biggie. Just stir well and make it right in the glass. One less thing to wash.

- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 oz heavy cream or half and half
- ice
- fresh mint optional, for garnish
Instructions
