savannah beach sunset
While watching the movie inspired by Nicholas Sparks' book, "The Last Song" (2010, Miley Cyrus, Liam Hemsworth, Greg Kinnear, Kelly Preston), I was so enticed by the incredible sunsets over the Savannah beach horizon. They featured such beautiful layers of soft pink, gold and peach colors. In creating this drink, I had hoped to capture some of those beautiful sunsets by starting with a base of peach schnapps, vodka and mango nectar. Then I topped it off with a drizzle of maraschino cherry juice to disperse in a random pattern, to resemble the different layers of a summer sunset.

How To Make savannah beach sunset
-
Step 1Fill a short glass with ice. (I used a short-stemmed chalice, but a 10-oz Old-Fashioned glass or a large wine goblet would work well, too.)
-
Step 2Pour peach schnapps and vodka over the ice, and stir. Pour mango nectar on top and let it descend into the alcohol layer.
-
Step 3Drizzle the cherry juice across the top, and let it slowly descend into the drink, creating a streaking pattern.
-
Step 4Garnish with a peach slice and serve immediately.
