Bermuda Triangle

Pro tips

• Chill all ingredients and glassware before mixing to keep the drink cold without over-diluting with ice.
• Use fresh orange juice rather than bottled juice concentrate for brighter flavor and better balance with the sweet schnapps.
• Build the drink in order (schnapps, rum, then juice) to layer flavors and make it easier to taste-adjust before serving.
• Serve over ice in a rocks glass or as a shot—both presentations work; the smaller format intensifies the peach-spice profile.

Substitutions

• Peach schnapps → peach liqueur or peach vodka (slightly more complex, less sweet)
• Spiced rum → dark rum or coconut rum (shifts warmth and sweetness)
• Orange juice → pineapple juice or cranberry juice (transforms into a different tropical profile)

Can I make Bermuda Triangle cocktails ahead of time?

Yes, mix the peach schnapps and spiced rum in advance, then add fresh orange juice just before serving to preserve carbonation and prevent oxidation.

What type of rum works best?

Spiced rum as specified adds warmth and vanilla notes; dark or golden rum are acceptable alternatives but will shift the flavor profile slightly.

Should this be served as a shot or a cocktail?

Both work—the 1:1/2:3 ratio works as a 4.5 oz shot or a mixed drink; adjust proportions to your preference and serving style.

What's the best orange juice to use?

Fresh-squeezed or high-quality not-from-concentrate orange juice delivers better citrus flavor and body than standard reconstituted juice.
