Fruity Sweet

The Affair is a fruity and lightly effervescent highball that layers the sweet strawberry flavor of schnapps with orange juice and cranberry juice, finished with a top of club soda for a refreshing lift. At just 5.06% ABV, it is a light and approachable cocktail suited to those who prefer a less spirit-forward drink. The combination of fruits creates a vibrant pink-orange color in the glass.

History & Origins

The Affair is a modern bar creation with disputed origins, typical of the fruit schnapps and juice cocktails that became popular in American bars during the 1980s and 1990s. The use of strawberry schnapps, orange juice, and cranberry juice reflects the era's preference for sweet, accessible cocktails with bright fruit flavors. No single credited inventor or definitive origin point has been established for this drink.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Bright strawberry and fresh orange, with a hint of cranberry tartness. Palate: Sweet and fruity from the strawberry schnapps, balanced by the natural acidity of the orange and cranberry juices; the club soda adds a light, clean effervescence. Finish: Short and refreshing, with a lingering berry sweetness.

Pro Tip

Pour the schnapps and juices over ice first, then add the club soda gently at the end to preserve its carbonation.
