Shake, Stir, and Pour – Here’s What You’ll Need

This cocktail is all about balance—bright lemon juice adds the perfect zing, cutting through the natural sweetness of blood orange and peach for a smooth, fruit-forward sip. 

To whip up the perfect Cactus Cooler pitcher, here’s what you’ll need:

• 2L Vodka – Go for a clean, smooth vodka to let the fruit flavors shine.
• 25 oz Fresh Lemon Juice – Freshly squeezed for that bright, zesty kick.
• 350ml Blood Orange Syrup – Our Liquid Alchemist Blood Orange Syrup brings bold citrus depth with a hint of berry-like sweetness.
• 350ml Peach Syrup – Lush, juicy, and packed with ripe peach flavor to complement the citrus and vodka.
• Red Bull (to top) – Adds an energizing fizz and just the right amount of sweetness.
• Ice – Because no one likes a warm cocktail—keep it chilled and refreshing.

How to Mix the Perfect Cactus Cooler Pitcher

Making a great pitcher cocktail shouldn’t be complicated. This Cactus Cooler is easy to throw together, packed with real fruit flavor, and has just the right amount of kick to keep things interesting. Here’s how to mix it up:

1. Prep Your Space

Start with a large pitcher or punch bowl and fill it up with plenty of ice. The goal is to keep the drink nice and cold without watering it down too quickly.

2. Mix the Base

Pour in 2L of vodka and 25 oz of fresh lemon juice. Give it a quick stir—this is where the smooth, citrusy base starts to come together.

3. Add the Syrups

Now for the good stuff. Mix in 350ml of Blood Orange Syrup for that deep citrus flavor and 350ml of our Peach Syrup for a natural, juicy sweetness. These syrups do the heavy lifting here, giving the cocktail a bold, fruit-forward taste without being overly sweet.

4. Blend the Flavors

Stir it all together so the flavors mix evenly. A few extra seconds here make sure every pour is just right.

5. Serve with a Sparkle

Pour into glasses over fresh ice and top each with a splash of Red Bull for a light fizz and a little boost of energy.

6. Garnish & Enjoy

If you’re feeling fancy, add a blood orange slice or peach wedge on the rim. Then kick back and enjoy—it’s that simple.
