How to Make Sex In The City Drink

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

Start by collecting all the ingredients listed above. Having everything ready makes the mixing process smoother and more enjoyable.

Step 2: Fill the Shaker with Ice

Take your shaker and fill it with ice cubes. This helps chill the drink quickly and ensures a refreshing result.

Step 3: Pour in the Vodka

Measure and add 2 oz of vodka to the shaker. This is the base spirit that gives the cocktail its signature kick.

Step 4: Add the Peach Schnapps

Next, pour in 1 oz of peach schnapps. This sweet liqueur adds a lovely fruity flavor that complements the vodka.

Step 5: Mix in the Juices

Pour in 1 oz each of cranberry juice and orange juice. These juices balance the sweetness of the schnapps and add a vibrant color.

Step 6: Shake It Up

Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. This mixes the ingredients well and chills the drink.

Step 7: Strain into Glasses

Using a strainer, pour the mixture into your prepared glasses. This ensures a smooth pour without any ice shards.

Step 8: Garnish and Serve

Finish by adding fresh fruit slices on top for garnish. This not only looks appealing but adds a nice touch of freshness.

Pro Tip: For an extra fancy touch, rim the glasses with sugar before pouring the drink.
