Equipment

  • Old fashioned glass
  • Cocktail shaker
  • Jigger or shot glass
  • Bar spoon
  • Strainer
  • Citrus juicer

Ingredients

  • 2 oz whiskey Jack Daniel's or Southern Comfort
  • 1 oz peach liqueur
  • 1 oz lemon juice fresh
  • 4 oz Mountain Dew citrus soda
  • ice cubes for shaking and serving
  • lemon slice for garnish; or a peach wedge

Instructions

  • Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
  • Add whiskey, peach liqueur, and fresh lemon juice.
  • Shake for about 10 seconds until well-chilled.
  • Strain into an old-fashioned glass filled with fresh ice.
  • Slowly top with Mountain Dew to preserve carbonation, then give one gentle stir.
  • Garnish with a lemon slice or peach wedge and serve immediately.

Notes

Fresh lemon juice keeps the sweetness in check. For a lighter sip, use diet Mountain Dew or reduce the whiskey to 1½ oz. Prefer it stronger? Skip the peach liqueur and add a little more whiskey. Serve right away while it’s crisp and fizzy.
