If you're a cocktail lover with a sweet tooth, this is a classic drink you need to try. The two-ingredient recipe dates back to the 1980s, but our slightly less sweet take on it calls for more OJ and less peach schnapps. Much like a mimosa or bellini, it's best served for a daytime occasion like brunch.
