Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are a few tips to ensure your Royal Peach Cocktail turns out perfectly every time:
- Use fresh peaches for the best flavor and garnish. If fresh peaches aren’t available, frozen or canned peaches will work too.
- Don’t over-shake the mixture, as it can become too watered down.
- Adjust the amount of Sprite to your taste—more for a lighter drink, less for a stronger cocktail.
- Experiment with different types of schnapps or flavored vodkas for a unique twist.
How to Serve
The Royal Peach Cocktail is versatile and can be served in various ways:
- Serve it over ice in a highball glass for a classic presentation.
- Pour it into a mason jar with additional ice and garnishes for a rustic look.
- Pair it with appetizers like Crown Royal Peach Tea infused bites or sweet treats like Peach Cobbler Cookies.
- Offer it at your next outdoor gathering or pool party for a refreshing drink option.
Make Ahead and Storage
While the Royal Peach Cocktail is best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the base mixture ahead of time:
- Combine the cranberry juice, pineapple juice, Peach Schnapps, and Crown Royal Peach in a pitcher or large glass bottle.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- When ready to serve, pour the mixture over ice and top with Sprite.
- Store any leftover cocktail in the fridge for up to 2 days. Shake well before serving.
And there you have it—a simple, delicious, and crowd-pleasing cocktail that’s sure to make your summer even brighter. Whether you’re a fan of Crown Peach Mule or just looking for a new drink to add to your repertoire, the Royal Peach Cocktail is a must-try. So, grab your shaker, mix one up, and let the summer fun begin! Cheers to delicious drinks and even better memories. 🍹
