The Georgia Peach Cocktail is a fruit-punch-style drink named after the state of Georgia, historically one of the leading peach-producing states in the American South. The drink pairs peach schnapps with white rum, orange juice, and a float of cranberry juice that creates a distinctive two-toned appearance. While the drink has no single documented inventor, its ingredients and layered presentation follow the tropical cocktail tradition that became popular in American bars during the 1980s and 1990s, when peach schnapps first became a widely stocked bar staple. The recipe appears consistently across major cocktail reference sites including Difford's Guide, which categorizes it among the twenty best peach schnapps cocktails.
