The blend of tea and peach whiskey delivers a fruity, mellow flavor. Garnish with a lemon wheel, a fresh peach slice, or a sprig of mint for an extra touch. This is one of those drinks that disappears quickly, so consider making a pitcher when serving a crowd.
Ingredients You Will Need
- 4 ounces sweet iced tea — homemade or store-bought, chilled
- 2 ounces Crown Royal Peach Whiskey — peach-flavored whiskey for smooth fruit notes
- Optional: 1–2 teaspoons simple syrup if your tea is unsweetened
- Optional garnishes: fresh peach slices, lemon wheels, or mint sprigs
Note: The ingredient amounts are for a single serving. Multiply for pitchers.
Recipe Variations
- Use unsweetened tea if you prefer less sugar.
- Add a splash of lemonade for a peachy Arnold Palmer twist.
- Try hibiscus or peach-flavored tea for a fruit-forward variation.
- For a nonalcoholic version, substitute peach nectar or peach juice for the whiskey.
- Mix equal parts tea and lemonade for a half-and-half version that’s always popular.

Expert Tips
- Chill the tea ahead of time so the drink stays cold without diluting it quickly.
- Use a tall glass packed with ice to maintain a crisp, refreshing temperature.
- Choose a high-quality tea; the base tea influences the overall flavor most of all.
- When entertaining, prepare a pitcher and place garnishes nearby so guests can serve themselves.
Crown Royal Peach Tea FAQs
Can I make a big batch of Royal Peach Tea?
Yes. Multiply the ingredients and mix in a large pitcher. Add ice and garnishes right before serving to keep the presentation fresh.
What kind of tea works best?
Classic black sweet tea is traditional and reliable. Unsweetened black tea, peach-flavored tea, or even green tea can work if you want a different profile.
How do I make Royal Peach Tea without alcohol?
Swap the Crown Royal Peach for peach nectar or peach juice. The drink will still be fruity and enjoyable.
Do I need to add sweetener?
If your tea is already sweetened, no. If it’s unsweetened, 1–2 teaspoons of simple syrup or sugar will balance the flavors nicely.
