Notes
Tips for making the woo woo cocktail:
- Although I love and use premium vodka like Grey Goose, a mid-level vodka like Ketel One is appropriate as well. My philosophy is buy the best alcohol you can afford.
- There are different brands of peach schnapps but I like the Peachtree brand.
- I like using a pure cranberry juice that hasn't been sweetened. That way I can add the amount of sugar I deem appropriate instead of having to settle for the amount of sugar in most cranberry juices on the market.
- If you use commercially sweetened cranberry juice, OMIT the simple sugar or the woo woo cocktail will be too sweet.
- Wash the citrus well before using in any cocktail. I use a neutral unscented hand soap I buy at Whole Foods.
- Don't neglect to squeeze the lime wedge into the cocktail before placing it in the drink.
- I like drinking this cocktail in a martini glass but if you prefer it on ice, you can pour it into a double old fashioned glass or highball glass.
