Royal Peach Cocktail Recipe

This invigorating summer peach cocktail delivers a burst of peach notes enriched by a hint of citrus and effervescent sparkle. Combining peach vodka, schnapps, and velvety peach puree capped with bubbly champagne, it offers a perfectly balanced libation that embodies warm evenings filled with relaxation, celebration, and the irresistible charm of a true summer peach delight.

I’ve been experimenting with new drinks and the Royal Peach Cocktail turned out to be pretty amazing. This isn’t just a drink its a tasty mix of flavors with 1.5 oz peach vodka, 1 oz peach schnapps, and 1 oz white peach puree.

I like how the 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice not only brings a little tang but also adds vitamin C which is nice when you want a bit of nutritional value. The champagne or your favorite sparkling wine on top gives it that light, fizzy finish thats perfect for a summer peach cocktail.

I’ve noticed that cocktails like these can be a hit during May cocktail recipes season and even for football cocktails so its fun to experiment with the different crown drinks recipes. Sometimes I serve mine over ice cubes with a fresh peach slice garnish.

I’m always pleased to find that this peach flavored drink has that sweet fruity flavor with just a hint of tartness.

Why I Like this Recipe

I like this recipe because:
1. I love how the peach flavors come through and make it a super refreshing drink.
2. I really enjoy the ease of making it even if I’m not the best in the kitchen.
3. I appreciate the bright twist from the lemon juice that cuts through the sweetness.

Royal Peach Cocktail is a fun drink that mixes peach vodka, peach schnapps, white peach puree, fresh lemon juice and a splash of Champagne or your favorite sparkling wine. First off, I chill my cocktail glass in the freezer so it gets nice and frosty. Then I fill a shaker up with ice and add in 1.5 oz peach vodka, 1 oz peach schnapps, 1 oz white peach puree (or nectar if I cant find puree), and 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice. I shake it all up for about 15 seconds until its really chilled. After that, I strain the mix into my glass and top it off with Champagne poured slowly so everything blends nicely. I give it a gentle stir and stick a fresh peach slice on the rim for a cool garnish. I love that its simple and yet makes such a classy, tasty cocktail!

FAQ

Royal Peach Cocktail Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• For peach vodka, you could use normal vodka and mix in a splash of peach puree if you cant find a peachy option.
• If you dont have peach schnapps, try using apricot brandy; it gives a similar fruity flavor.
• Instead of white peach puree, you can use white peach nectar or even blend up some fresh peaches.
• If youre out of champagne, topping up with a nice Prosecco or even a Cava works pretty well.

Pro Tips

1. Always make sure your cocktail glass is really frosty—chilling it in the freezer for a few minutes can make a big difference in keeping your drink cool and crisp.
2. When shaking up your mix, be careful not to overdo it so you don’t water down the flavors. A good 15-second shake helps mix everything without losing the punch.
3. If you have trouble finding white peach puree, you can use peach nectar instead, but remember it might be a bit thicker so you may need to tweak the amount a little.
4. Topping with your chilled champagne or sparkling wine should be done slowly to help maintain the fizz. A gentle stir after helps blend the taste without making it too flat.
