How to Make the Recipe

Let’s dive into the step-by-step process of creating this Crown Royal Peach Tea Cocktail. It’s simple, quick, and fun!

Step 1: Brew the Tea

Start by heating 6 ounces of water to a boil. Once boiling, steep the black tea bag for 2-4 minutes. The longer you steep, the stronger the tea will be. After steeping, remove the tea bag and set the tea aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Prepare the Glass

Fill a large glass with ice. This will help keep your cocktail cold and refreshing. Next, pour in 2 ounces of Crown Royal Peach Whiskey. The peach flavor in the whiskey pairs perfectly with the tea, creating a delicious harmony of tastes.

Step 3: Combine the Tea and Whiskey

Now it’s time to add the freshly brewed tea to the glass. Pour it over the ice and whiskey, watching as the flavors mingle together beautifully.

Step 4: Adjust Sweetness to Taste

If you prefer your tea on the sweeter side, now is the time to add 1-2 teaspoons of simple syrup or granulated sugar. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the sweetness is evenly distributed throughout the cocktail.

Step 5: Garnish with Fresh Fruit and Mint

Add the peach slices to the glass as a garnish. Not only do they add a pop of color, but they also infuse a bit more peach flavor into the drink. Finally, top it off with a sprig of fresh mint for a refreshing touch. Stir everything together and serve immediately!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Adjust the Sweetness: If you’re not a fan of added sugar, you can skip the simple syrup or reduce the amount to your taste.

Make Ahead and Storage

While this cocktail is best served fresh, you can prepare some elements ahead of time to make the process even quicker:

Brew the Tea: You can brew the tea in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to a day before using it.
Prepare the Garnishes: Slice the peaches and gather the fresh mint ahead of time, storing them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use them.
Store Leftovers: If you don’t finish the cocktail, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just give it a quick stir before serving again.
