Description
A refreshing, frozen slushy cocktail made with sweet tea, peaches, and bourbon. Perfect for tailgating, parties, or hot summer days, this crowd-pleasing punch is easy to make and stays cold.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 cups (2 liters) Sweet Tea, chilled
- 2 cups (480ml) Bourbon
- 2 cans (15 oz each) Peach Halves in juice, drained
- ½ cup (120ml) Simple Syrup
- ¼ cup (60ml) Fresh Lemon Juice
- 4 cups (roughly 1 kg) Ice
Instructions
- Prep ingredients: Ensure sweet tea is completely chilled. Drain canned peaches. Measure bourbon, lemon juice, and simple syrup.
- Blend peaches: Blend the drained peaches alone until smooth. If using fresh/frozen, add a splash of tea to help blend.
- Add liquids: Pour in bourbon, lemon juice, simple syrup, and half of the sweet tea. Blend until combined. Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness if needed.
- Add ice and remaining tea: Add the remaining sweet tea and ice. Blend in batches if necessary, pulsing first to break ice, then blending on high until a thick slushy consistency is reached.
- Serve: Pour into cups. Garnish with peach slices or lemon wheels. Serve immediately as the drink melts quickly.
Notes
[‘For best texture, freeze sweet tea in ice cube trays and use those instead of water ice to prevent dilution.’, ‘Do not let the punch sit out for too long as it will melt and become watery.’, ‘Blend in batches if making a large crowd to prevent blender overheating.’, ‘For a non-alcoholic version, swap bourbon for extra sweet tea and vanilla extract.’]
