A woo woo (also called teeny weeny woo woo)[1] [2] is an alcoholic beverage made of vodka, peach schnapps, and cranberry juice. It is typically served as a cocktail in a highball glass or can be served as a shot. It can also be served in a rocks glass.[3] The ingredients are usually shaken together with ice or stirred as preferred. A lime wedge is used as a garnish.
The drink became popular in the 1980s along with other cocktails containing peach schnapps such as the Fuzzy Navel and Silk Panties. Writing on the then-recent rise of peach schnapps in Esquire for March 1988, food and drink writer William Grimes commented:[4]
The woo woo is a relative of the Cape Codder (vodka and cranberry juice) and both have shared highball relatives in the Sea Breeze, the Bay Breeze, the Madras, and Sex on the Beach.[5] The baby woo woo is a shooter variation containing equal parts vodka, peach schnapps, and cranberry juice.[6]
