Pro Tips for Perfect Results

• Use crushed ice to help keep layers separate.
• Always pour slowly over the back of a spoon for that layered look.
• Chill your glasses in the freezer for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Customization Ideas

• Swap pineapple juice with mango or orange for a twist.
• Use strawberry schnapps instead of peach for a berry version.
• Make it non-alcoholic with flavored syrups and juices!
