Make a Woo Woo

A Woo Woo is a cocktail that is made with vodka, peach schnapps, and cranberry juice. You can also tweak the ingredients a little to make variations.

Ingredients[1]

  • 1½ ounces (45 milliliters) peach schnapps
  • 1½ ounces (45 milliliters) vodka
  • 3 to 3½ ounces (90 to 105 milliliters) cranberry juice

Steps

Making a Basic Woo Woo

  1. Fill a rocks or highball glass with ice, if desired. You will be shaking this drink with ice, and then straining ice. If you'd like your drink even colder, add a couple of ice cubes into your glass.[2]
  2. Add ice to a cocktail shaker. It does not matter how much ice you add. You will be straining this ice out later.
  3. Add the vodka, peach schnapps, and cranberry juice to the cocktail shaker. For a stronger cocktail, use less cranberry juice. For a weaker drink, use more cranberry juice.
  4. Shake the ingredients vigorously for about five seconds. Place the cap over the shaker first, then shake it for about five seconds.
  5. Strain the cocktail into the glass and give it a stir, if needed.[3] Take the cap off, and pour the drink through a strainer into your glass.
  6. Cap off with cranberry juice, if desired. This is not needed, but it can lend your cocktail a fruitier flavor.
  7. Garnish with a peach slice or lime wedge, if desired. The Woo Woo is usually not served with a garnish, but a peach slice or lime wedge can add a pop of color.
  8. Serve.

Making Variations

  1. Try a shooter version. This is just like the basic version, but smaller. Fill a shot glass with ½ ounce (15 milliliters) of Peach Schnapps, ½ ounce (15 milliliters) of vodka, and 1 ounce (15 milliliters) of cranberry juice. Give it a quick stir, and serve.[4]
  2. Switch out the Peach Schnapps for Blueberry Schnapps and make it a Blue Woo Fill a Collins glass with ½ ounce (15 milliliters) of vodka and ½ ounce (15 milliliters) of Blueberry Schnapps. Cap off with 1 ounce (30 milliliters) of cranberry juice, and serve.[5]
  3. Switch out the Peach Schnapps for some Malibu coconut rum for a tropical twist. Fill a cocktail shaker with 1 ounce (30 milliliters) of Malibu coconut rum, 1 ounce (30 milliliters) of vodka, and some ice. Shake for a few seconds, and then pour through a strainer into a tall glass. Cap off with 4 to 6 ounces (120 to 180 milliliters) of cranberry juice, and serve.[6]
  4. Try a fizzy Woo Woo. Fill a glass with ice, and add 1 part peach-flavored vodka, 1 part cranberry juice, and 1 part club soda. Stir to mix, and garnish with a peach slice or a lime wedge. Serve immediately.[7]
  5. Try a Woozy. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, 3 ounces (30 milliliters) of vodka, 3 ounces (90 milliliters) of orange juice, 2 ounces (60 milliliters) of pineapple juice, 1½ ounce (45 milliliters) of Peach Schnapps, and 1 ounce (30 milliliters) of vodka. Shake it for a few seconds, then strain it into a highball glass. Serve it with ice.[8]
    • A Woozy is a mix of a Woo Woo and a Fuzzy Navel.



Tips

  • Use more peach schnapps for a stronger peach flavor.
  • Experiment with different flavors of vodka or Schnapps.
  • Woo Woos are typically mixed in a cocktail shaker. If you don't have one at home, you can pour everything into a highball glass, and stir it. It won't be a traditional Woo Woo, however.

Warnings

  • Drink alcoholic beverages responsibly.
