Alcoholic Cocktail Collins Glass 3 ingredients

Recipe

  • 1 oz Bourbon Whiskey
  • 1/2 oz Schnapps (Peach)
  • 4 oz Soda (Lemon Lime)

Instructions

James Carsner, originated in Ellensburg WA during the Summer of 1998, inventor did not like the overpowering oak barrel flavor of Jack Daniels, but still wanted a hint of it, he added a half ounce of Schnapps (Peach) to sweeten the drink. Named Georgian Redneck for the following reasons: Georgia is the Peach State and the rednecks in Ellensburg were drinking Jack Daniels that night. Not a widely popular/known drink, however, when ordering the inventor gives the name to the bartender in effort to get the name recognized. Must be made with 7-up, because Sierra Mist and Soda (Lemon Lime) have too much Lemon/Lime flavor that ruins the intended flavor. Serve on the rocks in a tumbler. Pour shot of Jack over the ice, fill glass with Soda (Lemon Lime), add Schnapps (Peach).

About Georgian Redneck

The Georgian Redneck is a refreshing and spirited cocktail that combines the robust flavors of bourbon whiskey with the sweet, fruity notes of peach schnapps, all brightened by a splash of lemon-lime soda. This drink offers a delightful balance between the bold, oaky essence of bourbon and the playful sweetness of peach, topped off with a fizzy citrus finish that makes it perfect for sipping on a warm afternoon or at a casual gathering. Its approachable flavor profile caters to both whiskey enthusiasts and those who prefer lighter, fruitier cocktails.

Though the exact origins of the Georgian Redneck are unclear, the drink likely draws inspiration from Southern American culture, where bourbon is a staple and peaches hold a cherished place in local cuisine. The term "redneck" is often associated with the Southern working class, suggesting that this cocktail embodies a down-to-earth, unpretentious spirit. It's a drink that captures the essence of Southern hospitality, offering a taste that's as warm and welcoming as a gathering on a Georgian porch. Whether enjoyed at a backyard barbecue or a casual get-together, the Georgian Redneck is sure to please with its simple yet satisfying combination of flavors.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Collins Glass, though any glass works!
