Recipe FAQs

Can I make this as a full cocktail instead of shots?

Yes! Serve it in a highball glass over ice and optionally top with club soda for a longer drink.

What’s the alcohol content of a Woo Woo shot?

With vodka and peach schnapps, it’s a relatively strong cocktail. Adjust the amount of cranberry juice to control the strength.

Can I make this in a pitcher for a party?

Absolutely! Maintain the ratio of 2 parts vodka to 1 part each peach schnapps and cranberry juice when scaling up.

Should I use cranberry juice cocktail or 100% cranberry juice?

Either works – cocktail will give you a sweeter drink, while 100% juice provides a tarter flavor. Choose based on your preference.
