Georgia Ice Tea is a simple, modern highball-style drink that leans into the easygoing “spiked tea” tradition rather than a deep, documented origin story. With just two ingredients, it sits firmly in the refreshing, low-fuss category—built for warm weather, casual get-togethers, and anyone who wants something lighter than a spirit-forward cocktail.
You’ll find peach schnapps brings a bright, candy-like peach sweetness that immediately softens the tea’s natural tannins. The iced tea keeps things crisp and familiar, giving the drink a clean, lightly drying backbone so the schnapps doesn’t feel cloying. Expect a sweet-leaning, peachy sip up front, followed by a smooth tea finish that keeps it easy to drink.
Serve it tall in a highball glass when you want maximum refreshment and minimal ceremony. It suits backyard afternoons, barbecues, and laid-back evenings, especially if you’re after a crowd-pleaser that tastes approachable and goes down effortlessly.

Cocktail Colin says:
Peach schnapps leads with bright, candy-like peach sweetness that blooms through the chilled iced tea, turning the tea’s tannic edge into a softer, fruit-forward sip. This works because the iced tea’s dryness reins in the schnapps’ sugar while the peach lifts the tea’s aroma; it’s ideal for anyone who wants an easy, low-effort spiked tea.
