This cocktail is as good as it sounds: Woo Woo! With 3 1/2 ounces of cranberry juice, it’ll definitely give you a Vitamin C boost, plus syrupy Peach Schnapps to round it out. Absolutely thirst-quenching and yummy.
There’s a reason why vodka and cranberry work together. Something about the sweet tartness of the cranberry rounds out the harshness of the alcohol. This pretty little cocktail is one of my favorites of the moment, and it’s super easy to make. You won’t even need a cocktail shaker.
I used the Ocean Breeze brand, yes of the Fleetwood Mac fame, and 40 proof Stolichnaya vodka.
Like the others I’ve made recently, this tasty lil concoction comes from The Art of Mixology! It became popular in the 80s along with other drinks using Peach Snapps. I haven’t heard of the drink before the book, but I definitely give it my drink mixer’s seal of approval to come back into vogue.
But enough history, let’s get to making it!

What do you think of this Woo Woo cocktail? This is one that I’m certain I’ll be making again!
For more drinks like these, I highly recommend the Art of Mixology for anyone on a mixologist kick. Plus, you’ll find more uses for your cranberry juice or Peach Schnapps if you’d like to buy it just for this drink.
