Ingredients
- 45 ml Absolut Peach
- 150 ml Homemade Iced Tea
- 1 Lemon Wheel
- Ice Cubes
What You’ll Need
- Jigger or Measuring Instrument
- Bar Spoon
- Knife
- Highball Glass
How to Mix
- Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.
- Use a jigger to measure and pour 45 ml Absolut Peach into the glass.
- Use the jigger again to measure and pour approx. 150 ml Iced Tea into the glass.
- Use a bar spoon to give the drink a good stir.
- Slice a lemon in half, then cut a single lemon wheel. Place the wheel directly into your glass to garnish.
Add a Twist
- If you’re feeling really peachy, opt for a peach iced tea instead of regular iced tea. Trust us, the combination of peach-flavored vodka and peach-flavored iced tea is incredible.
- To accentuate those peach flavors further, use a fresh peach wedge to garnish your drink together with a lemon wheel.
- Add a sprig of mint to add a cooling, herbal twist to your drink. Peach, lemon and mint work amazingly together.
- There’s something undeniable about the flavor combination of iced tea and lemon. Swap Absolut Peach for Absolut Citron – our beloved lemon-flavored vodka – and you’ve got one of the most perfect tea cocktails around.
- When you mix Absolut Mandrin with iced tea, the rich, mature notes of mandarin intertwine beautifully with the robust, earthy tones of black tea. This pairing delivers a taste profile that’s, dare we say, sophisticated yet bright and citrusy.
Common questions
Still looking for tips and inspiration for Absolut Peach with Iced Tea? We’ll leave you with these common questions.
“It’s everything you could want in a drink – you get those beautiful tannins from the iced tea, a nice, little bit of sweetness and citrus and then that peach flavor – pow! – coming through,” shares Ricardo ‘Rico’ Dynan, Bartender and Absolut Global Brand Ambassador.
Yes, iced tea and vodka go incredibly well together! If you’re using a flavored iced tea, Absolut Vodka works as a perfect base. Alternatively, our flavored vodkas like Absolut Peach and Absolut Citron add an extra layer of flavor, enhancing the tea’s fruity notes.
Yes, you can, but we recommend making your own iced tea. Store-bought iced tea is convenient and often pre-sweetened, with consistent flavor, but may contain added preservatives. Homemade iced tea offers freshness, allowing you to control sweetness and flavor by choosing your tea, sweeteners, and any additional ingredients.
To make iced tea, use about 4-6 tea bags per liter (or quart) of water, depending on your preferred strength. Brew the black tea by steeping the tea bags in hot water for 3-5 minutes. Remove the bags, let the tea cool to room temperature, and then refrigerate until chilled.
