Peach Whiskey Iced Tea is a refreshing easy cocktail recipe that's perfect for summertime. A favorite whiskey and iced tea drink.
Colt and I were out shopping last weekend when the fresh peaches at the grocery store drew us in with their mesmerizing smell. I had already planned on making a Frozen Peach Cheesecake I will be sharing on Sunday, but Colt thought a cocktail was in order.
After a little bit of back and forth brainstorming we decided a Peach Whiskey Iced Tea would hit the spot at the end of a hot day!
Why make plain Iced Tea when Peach Iced Tea will take your taste buds to a whole other level.
The sweet juicy peaches combined with the black tea makes a wonderful treat on a hot summers day. Add a shot of Whiskey for adults, and you have a fun cocktail.
Not only perfect for parties, but to just sit back and enjoy.
Peach Whiskey Iced Tea is the perfect end to the perfect day.
You might also love making Whisky Peaches to garnish the cocktails and to use the whisky from the peaches for an extra special treat!
Please remember to drink responsibly! Here's how to make Peach Whiskey Iced Tea:
Steep 5 bags of your favorite Black Ice Tea in 3 cups Hot Water.
Let steep for 5 minutes, and remove tea bags. Add 8 cups Ice, and 1 cup Cold Water.
In a blender or food processor puree:
- 1 2/3 cup Diced Peaches
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- Juice of 1 Lemon.
Puree until smooth. Pulp can be strained out if desired.
Pour Pureed Peaches into Iced Tea.
Stir until well combined.
Taste tea and add additional Sugar to taste. This really is a personal taste, some like ice tea sweeter than others.
To Assemble Peach Whiskey Iced Tea fill glass 3/4 full of Ice. Pour 1/2- 1 shot of your favorite Whiskey over ice.
Fill with Peach Iced Tea, and stir to combined.
Garnish glasses with a fresh sliced peach, and enjoy! Cheers!

How far ahead of time can you make this?
Hi Libby, It keeps a few days in the fridge easily. I would just not add extra ice until ready to serve so it doesn't become watered down. I hope that helps, Serena
How big of a pitcher am I filling?
About 80 ounces. Thanks, Serena
Wow that looks so good! I really want to make but my husband is diabetic. I can still make for me. Love Kimberly
what type of caffeine free tea would be a substitute for black tea?
Hi, I believe you can. get decaf black tea but I bet hibiscus or a blackberry or raspberry tea would also be yummy. Thanks, Serena
