Why You’ll Love It

• Nostalgic and playful — evokes your favorite candy.
• Customizable — tweak sweetness or strength to taste.
• Eye-catching and giftable — jarred peach rings make a colorful presentation (pair with a Halloween Cheeseboard or seasonal treats).
• Easy to make — no special bar tools required.

Ingredients

• 1 jar (16 ounces) peach rings
• 1 cup peach schnapps
• 1 cup vodka
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 quart mason jar (or similar container with lid)

Directions

Step 1 — Prep
Gather all ingredients and make sure your mason jar is clean and dry.

Step 2 — Make the Simple Syrup
In a mixing bowl, combine sugar and water. Stir until the sugar fully dissolves — this is your simple syrup base.

Step 3 — Add Spirits and Flavorings
To the syrup add peach schnapps, vodka, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until blended.

Step 4 — Prepare the Peach Rings
Open the jar of peach rings and drain any syrup (set that aside or discard). Arrange the rings so they’ll be easy to layer into the mason jar.

Step 5 — Layer and Submerge
Place peach rings into the mason jar in even layers. Pour the liquid mixture over the rings, ensuring they’re fully submerged so the flavors infuse evenly.

Step 6 — Seal and Shake
Seal the jar tightly and give it a gentle shake to combine.

Step 7 — Infuse
Refrigerate the jar for at least 24 hours. For more pronounced flavor, steep up to 1 week, gently shaking the jar every 2–3 days.

Step 8 — Serve
After infusion, serve chilled or over ice. This sweet, boozy infusion pairs especially well with fall-themed snacks like our Pumpkin S’mores Cookies or Pretzel Pumpkins.

Step 9 — Store
Keep leftovers refrigerated. Properly sealed, it will last several weeks. Always enjoy responsibly.

Tips and Variations

• Extra fresh peach flavor: Add a couple of thin fresh peach slices to the jar before sealing.
• Sparkling serving option: Top a shot with a splash of soda — try with flavors from our holiday collections like Mulled Cider or mix into a fruity Christmas Vodka Cocktail for a festive spin.
• Party pairing: Serve alongside themed sweets like Hocus Pocus Cookies or a Halloween Cheeseboard.
• Gift idea: Bottle into smaller mason jars, add a ribbon and a label — these make colorful seasonal gifts.
