13 Best Cocktails with Peach-Flavored Brandy
Sparkling Peach Cocktail
from Magnolia Days
This Sparkling Peach Cocktail from Magnolia Days is a refreshing drink for summer that we absolutely love. It is made with peach-flavored brandy, peach nectar, orange juice, lemon juice, and sparkling wine.
Keep in mind that you’ll shake together all the other ingredients before adding the sparkling wine at the end so that you don’t lose the bubbles! Don’t forget to garnish with fresh peaches, too.
Boozy Hard Peach Lemonade
This recipe from Tiffani Thiessen over at Cooking Channel TV is another peachy brandy cocktail that will quickly become a favorite. It has homemade simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, and of course, peach brandy.
The recipe is for six drinks, so there’s plenty to share with friends. Garnish this one with freshly sliced lemons and a sprig of mint for some herbal aroma.
Piedmont Peach
from Grey Goose Vodka
Orange, lemon, and peaches? Yes, please! The Piedmont Peach recipe from Grey Goose Vodka is full of delicious fruity flavors that make for an excellent cocktail for sipping.
This one has Grey Goose L’Orange, peach brandy, lemon juice, simple syrup, and peach bitters. Rather than pouring the cocktail over ice, shake all the ingredients together with ice, then strain it into a chilled martini glass so you don’t water it down too much.
Georgia Mint Julep
from Mr. Boston Drinks
The Georgia Mint Julep recipe from Mr. Boston Drinks is both fresh and strong! Though you can always adjust recipes to your taste preferences, the recipe, as it’s written, has just brandy, peach-flavored brandy, mint, and simple syrup.
There are not a whole lot of mixers here, so enjoy responsibly! Oh, and don’t forget to use crushed ice because it really is the finishing touch to the cocktail.
Peach Summer Shandy
from Sugar and Soul
Shandy’s are a great choice of cocktail and have a flavor combination that you may not normally expect as they combine beer with lemonade and liqueurs or liquor. The Summer Shandy recipe from Sugar and Soul has the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness.
It has just three ingredients, too. Your choice of light beer, lemonade, and brandy. Pull out the pitcher for this one because it is perfect for any occasion, and your guests will love it.
Bardstown Sling
from The Cocktail Project
Don’t let a mediocre review rating keep you from trying the Bardstown Sling recipe from The Cocktail Project. Our theory is that the less-than-great reviews come from those who don’t like sweet drinks. Though this one has a few ingredients with a kick, the peach puree does give it quite a bit of sweetness. If you want it more citrus-forward for your own tastes, simply use more of the lemon sour and less of the pureed peaches.
Peach Lime Rickey
from The Drink Blog
The Drink Blog’s Peach Lime Rickey is a light and refreshing drink that makes for a great option anytime. It has peach brandy, lime juice, simple syrup, and tonic water. To make it, you’ll simply grab a shaker and shake each of the ingredients except the tonic water with ice, and strain that into your Collins glasses, add fresh ice, then top with the tonic water. If you really wanna level up the freshness, garnish with fresh peach slices and a lime wedge.
Peach Sidecar
from De Kuyper
De Kuyper, the popular liqueur brand, has a Peach Sidecar recipe that has just three ingredients– brandy, triple sec, and lemons. Though two out of three ingredients have alcohol content, it is surprisingly smooth!
Uh Huh, Honey Peach
from Stella Rosa
Stella Rosa’s Uh Huh Honey Peach recipe is another three-ingredient cocktail recipe that you don’t even need a cocktail shaker for! In a glass with ice, combine Stella Rosa Honey Peach Brandy (or your favorite brand of brandy), orange juice, and lemon-lime soda. Then, just give it a stir and garnish it with orange slices! It’s simply delicious, though if you want a bit less sweet, we recommend swapping out the citrus soda with club soda instead.
Big Peach Punch
from E&J Brandy
The Big Peach Punch from E&J Brandy itself has an interesting combination of ingredients, though the outcome tastes similar to a juicy sangria. It’s quite a tasty drink! You’ll just need citrus, orange juice, red wine, and E&J Peach. Again, no need to shake this one up. Just stir to combine over ice.
Best Peach Long Island Iced Tea
from Create Yum
Long Island Iced Teas just got a makeover with this recipe from Create Yum. You’ll need quite the ingredient list for it, but it’s totally worth it. Alright, ready for what you’ll need? Lemon rum, gin, tequila, peach vodka, peach brandy, peach tea, and sparkling peach water. Luckily, once you have the ingredients, it is as easy as shaking everything except the sparkling water, pouring it over ice, and then stirring that sparkling water in.
The Fish House Punch
from Remy Martin
The Fish House Punch cocktail is one of those delicious recipes that you’ll find yourself making again and again. It’s a delightful combination of Remy Martin VSOP, rum, peach brandy, lemon juice, sugar syrup, and water. It’s a simple shake-and-strain cocktail, too.
Sparkling Peach
from Drizly
Like the Sparkling Peach Cocktail from Magnolia Days, Drizly has its own that is just as good, just made with different flavors. This one is prosecco, peach brandy, lemons, simple syrup, and orange liqueur. It’s fruity, fresh, light, and screams elegance.
