Ingredients

  • 1 oz peach schnapps

  • 1 oz cranberry juice

  • ½ oz Jägermeister

Optional Garnish

  • Maraschino cherry

Preparation

Step 1: Chill your ingredients
For the best shot experience, make sure all your ingredients are chilled before mixing. You can also chill the shot glasses for a frosty finish.

Step 2: Add ingredients to shaker
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine 1 oz peach schnapps, 1 oz cranberry juice, and ½ oz Jägermeister.

Step 3: Shake it up
Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and slightly frothy.

Step 4: Strain into shot glass
Strain the mixture into a 2 oz shot glass, filling it close to the top.

Step 5: Garnish and serve
Top with a maraschino cherry for a playful finish. Serve immediately and enjoy responsibly.

Variation

  • Red Headed Pineapple: Substitute cranberry juice with pineapple juice for a tropical twist

  • Spicy Redhead: Add a dash of hot sauce or jalapeño-infused schnapps for a kick

  • Redheaded Slush: Blend ingredients with ice for a frozen shot version

  • Lighter Version: Use ½ oz of each ingredient for a smaller, smoother shot

  • Mocktail Mini: Mix cranberry juice, peach syrup, and a splash of soda water for a non-alcoholic shooter

Cooking Note

  • Jägermeister has a strong herbal flavor—peach schnapps and cranberry juice mellow it out

  • Use real cranberry juice for tartness or cranberry cocktail for a sweeter finish

  • Chilling the glass keeps the shot colder longer and improves the overall mouthfeel

  • Shake well to blend the flavors and slightly froth the top of the shot

  • Best served fresh and cold to keep the flavors crisp

Tips

  • Pre-batch ingredients without ice and refrigerate until ready to shake and serve

  • Serve on a tray with cherries already skewered for faster party service

  • Great for bachelorette parties, themed events, or casual weekend shots

  • Pair with salty snacks like pretzels or party mix to balance the sweetness

  • If making for a group, shake in larger batches and pour evenly into lined-up shot glasses

Is this shot sweet or strong?

Can I prep this ahead of time?

Of course—it’s optional, but it adds a cute and tasty finish if you’re going for presentation.
