Preparing the Leprechaun’s Kiss is simple and fun:

Fill the cocktail shaker with ice.
Add vodka, peach schnapps, and orange juice to the shaker.

Shake well until chilled.
Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with ice.
Top off with cranberry juice and soda water.

Notes

A couple of tips to perfect this cocktail:

For a non-alcoholic option, replace vodka and schnapps with more orange juice or a peach-flavored drink.

Fresh-squeezed orange juice can enhance the flavor greatly.
Ensure not to over-mix the soda water to maintain its fizz.
These adjustments can make the drink suit many occasions and preferences.
