An informal party concoction, the Smut throws together red wine, peach schnapps, cola, and orange juice in a beer mug and serves it cold. The combination is unconventional and frankly accessible, prizing sweetness and shareability over classical technique, with the wine and schnapps giving it a loosely sangria-like quality. At around 11 percent ABV it carries a fair amount of alcohol beneath the soft-drink and juice mixers. Built for casual gatherings rather than the cocktail bar, it sits among the improvised, crowd-pleasing drinks assembled from whatever is on hand.

History & Origins
The Smut is a casual, modern drink of disputed origin with no documented history, likely developed as an informal house cocktail or party drink at some point in the late 20th century. Its ingredients suggest a pragmatic approach to mixing whatever is on hand into something palatable and sweet. The name is colloquial and adds to its reputation as an unpretentious, fun-oriented drink.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Red wine fruit and peach schnapps sweetness alongside cola's caramel and vanilla notes. Palate: Very sweet and fruit-forward, with the peach schnapps and orange juice dominating; red wine adds a subtle tannin and berry backbone, while cola contributes effervescence and a cola spice. Finish: Sweet and slightly tart, with a lingering peach and cola note.
Pro Tip
Serve very cold and use a high-quality dry red wine to balance the considerable sweetness of the schnapps and cola.
