Notes
Substitutes:
- Bourbon: If you don't have bourbon, try using rye whiskey for a similar depth of flavor. I've also used dark rum for a sweeter twist.
- Peach Schnapps: You can substitute with apricot brandy if you're out of peach schnapps; it adds a slightly different fruitiness but works well.
- Triple Sec: Cointreau is a great alternative if you want a more pronounced orange flavor.
- Black Tea: I've used green Tea instead of black Tea for a lighter taste, which pairs nicely with the peach notes.
Making a Pitcher:
- Scale: To make a pitcher that serves 8, multiply all the ingredients by 8. That would be 8 oz of bourbon, 8 oz of peach schnapps, 4 oz of triple sec, and 16 oz of cold black Tea.
- Mix: In a large pitcher, combine the bourbon, peach schnapps, triple sec, and cold black Tea. Stir well.
- Serve: Pour the mixture into individual ice-filled highball glasses, garnish with a peach slice or mint sprig, and serve immediately.
Making it Non-Alcoholic:
- Bourbon Substitute: Use a non-alcoholic whiskey alternative; these are available and mimic the rich flavors quite well.
- Peach Schnapps Substitute: Opt for peach nectar or juice to maintain the fruity essence without alcohol.
- Triple Sec Substitute: Use orange juice or an orange-flavored syrup to replace triple sec's citrus notes.
- Proceed As Usual: Use these non-alcoholic substitutes instead of the regular ingredients, follow the original steps, and enjoy a non-alcoholic version.
