Crown Royal Peach Tea Cocktail

Jump to Recipe

It’s currently peach season, so I thought it was time to share this Crown Royal Peach Tea cocktail recipe. I don’t know what it is about sweet iced tea that pairs so well with whiskey, but it really is a heavenly combination.

Peach iced tea is popular on its own as a refreshing beverage all year long, but adding the kick of whiskey makes it the perfect summertime adult cocktail. You can serve this drink all year long, but it’s really special when you can add the sweet flavor of fresh peaches.

Whiskey fans will also want to try our Royal Peach Drink, and for dessert, our Crown Royal Cupcakes. If you love the flavor of butter pecan, these cupcakes will be your new favorite treat.

Variations and Substitutions

I wouldn’t change the ingredients too much, but you could add extra fresh peaches and put this cocktail in the blender for a frozen version. See our thoughts on the best blender for frozen drinks.
Muddling a peach slice would add more fresh flavor to the cocktail. You could even add fresh mint to the peach and muddle them together for even more deliciousness. A squeeze of lemon would add brightness to the cocktail, too.
Though best with fresh peaches, a cinnamon stick would give wonderful warmth to the cocktail in the cooler months.

FAQs

Can I use sweet tea instead of unsweetened iced tea?

If you like a super sweet drink, you can, but the sweet taste of the Crown Royal Peach really gives this drink plenty of sweetness.

Can I make this drink with regular Crown Royal?

You can make a Crown Royal Peach Tea Cocktail with regular Crown Royal, but it won’t have the same peach flavor. Adding peach syrup would help give the drink more of the sweet peach flavor.
