Notes
For a non-alcoholic option, replace vodka and schnapps with more orange juice or a peach-flavored drink.
Experiment with the ratios to fit personal taste preferences.
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.
