History
The Fizzy Peachtree is a modern promotional drink built around Peachtree, the peach schnapps liqueur made by De Kuyper. Peachtree itself was created in the early 1980s by Earl LaRoe, a flavor scientist working for National Distillers, De Kuyper's U.S. distributor at the time, and it launched in 1984 as the first liqueur of its kind, establishing the peach schnapps liqueur category.
The Fizzy Peachtree cocktail pairs the liqueur with lime and soda: the liqueur gives it the "Peachtree" in its name, and the soda gives it the fizz.
