I’ve made this drink countless times, and trust me—it’s always a conversation starter. Let’s get mixing!


Ingredients

You’ll need:

  • 1 oz (30ml) Midori Melon Liqueur – This gives the drink its signature green color and sweet melon flavor.
  • 1 oz (30ml) Peach Schnapps – Adds a juicy, fruity kick.
  • A splash of Orange Juice – Brings in a little tang to balance the sweetness.
  • A splash of Energy Drink – For a fizzy, slightly tart finish.

You’ll also need a shot glass (for the classic version) or a rocks glass if you prefer to sip.


How to Make Gator Piss

  1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour in the Midori and Peach Schnapps. Shake well to chill everything and blend the flavors.
  2. Strain into a shot glass, leaving a little room at the top.
  3. Add a splash of orange juice and top it off with a splash of energy drink.

That’s it! A quick shake, a pour, and you’ve got yourself a bold, sweet, and slightly tangy shooter.


Tips & Variations

  • Chill your glass beforehand for an extra refreshing experience.
  • Fresh-squeezed orange juice makes a big difference in flavor.
  • Want a tropical spin? Swap the peach schnapps for coconut rum.
  • Prefer a less sweet version? Use a sugar-free energy drink or add a splash of club soda.
  • No Midori? Try a different melon liqueur, or for a non-alcoholic version, use melon syrup.

Serving Ideas

Gator Piss pairs great with party snacks! Try it with:

  • Spicy Chicken Wings – The sweetness of the drink cools down the heat.
  • Grilled Shrimp with Lime – A perfect match for the citrus notes.
  • Vegetable Spring Rolls – Light, crisp, and refreshing alongside this fruity shooter.

Make-Ahead & Storage

  • You can pre-mix the Midori and Peach Schnapps in a small bottle and store it in the fridge for quick serving.
  • Once mixed with juice and energy drink, it’s best enjoyed fresh, so don’t let it sit too long!

Fun Twists to Try

Blue Bayou – Swap Midori for Blue Curaçao for a deep blue color and a citrusy twist.

Swamp Cooler – Add a splash of cranberry juice for a tart contrast.

Tropic Thunder – Mix in a dash of pineapple juice for a tropical punch.

Virgin Gator Piss – Skip the alcohol and mix melon syrup, peach juice, and sparkling water for a fruity mocktail.


FAQs

Can I make this as a full cocktail instead of a shot?
Absolutely! Just increase the amounts, pour over ice in a rocks glass, and enjoy as a sippable drink.

What if I don’t have Peach Schnapps?
You can use another fruity liqueur, or for a non-alcoholic version, try peach juice or syrup.

How can I make it less sweet?
Cut back on the liqueurs and add more orange juice or a splash of club soda.

What’s the best time to serve this?
It’s perfect for summer parties, game nights, or anytime you want a fun, playful drink.


The Gator Piss isn’t just a cocktail—it’s an experience. Whether you’re making a round for friends or just trying it for fun, this bold, colorful shooter is sure to leave an impression. Cheers! 🍹
