Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Peach schnapps
Adds sweet peach flavour that carries the drink.
Peach brandy
Adds stronger fruit and alcohol notes for depth.
Cream of coconut
Adds sweetness and a rich, creamy body.
Vanilla ice cream
Adds creaminess and body as it blends with the ice.
Crushed ice
Chills the drink and gives it a thick, slushy texture as it blends.

The step that matters

Mix well in a blender until smooth. The ice must be broken down fully so the texture is even rather than gritty. Blending too long melts the ice and thins the drink, so blend until smooth and serve promptly.

Swap the coconut

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (peach, brandy, cream, vanilla):
