Slowly drizzle the grenadine down one side of the glass so it sinks and creates that sunset-layered look you see in restaurants.

🏝️ Flavor Profile (What Makes It “Relaxer” Good)

• Coconut rum → smooth tropical base

• Peach schnapps → signature sweet peach flavor

• Vodka → clean extra kick

• Pineapple & orange → tropical fruit notes

• Peach nectar → thicker, smoother mouthfeel

This combination makes the Relaxer uniquely smooth, fruity, and vacation-like.

⭐ High-Value Bartender Tips (Authentic Copycat Quality)

✔ Use peach nectar, not just OJ & pineapple

It mimics the thick, sweet peach body of the original.

✔ Shake with lots of ice

Chilling the juices changes the flavor—closer to the restaurant version.

✔ Don’t skip sweet & sour mix

Gives the slight tang that balances the sweetness.

✔ Layer the grenadine

Classic look: pink-red at the bottom, golden peach above.

✔ Use fresh pineapple juice if possible

The fresher the juice, the more tropical and vibrant the cocktail.
