Gilligan's Island Cocktail
A bright, tropical highball that mixes vodka and peach schnapps with orange and cranberry juices. Simple, fruity, and beachy—no matter where you are.
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Jigger or measuring cup
- Strainer
- Highball or hurricane glass
- Bar spoon
- Ice cubes
Ingredients
- 1 oz vodka
- 1 oz peach schnapps
- 3 oz orange juice
- 3 oz cranberry juice
- ice cubes for shaking and serving
- 1 slice orange or maraschino cherry, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice.

- Shake about 10 seconds until chilled, then strain into a highball or hurricane glass filled with fresh ice.
- Garnish with an orange slice or a cherry and serve immediately.
Notes
Chill the juices for the crispest sip. Adjust sweetness by increasing peach schnapps (sweeter) or cranberry juice (tarter). For a gentle layered “sunset” look, pour the cranberry last down the inside of the glass.
