Long Peach Iced Tea sits in the Long Island Iced Tea family: a highball built from a small measure of several clear spirits, brightened with citrus and lengthened with a fizzy top-up. Rather than leaning on cola for its “iced tea” illusion, you’ll find this version pivots toward a fruitier, lighter profile by bringing peach schnapps into the mix and finishing with lemonade. It reads as a modern party-style riff—big on refreshment, easy to recognise, and designed for long sipping.
On the palate, peach schnapps leads with soft, candied stone-fruit sweetness that immediately rounds the sharp edge of lemon juice. Gin adds a crisp, aromatic lift, while white rum and tequila blanco contribute clean, neutral warmth that fills out the mid-palate without stealing focus. Triple sec threads through with orange sweetness, tying the peach and lemon together. The lemonade top-up stretches everything into a bright, sparkling citrus finish.
Serve it when you want something tall, lively, and unapologetically crowd-pleasing—think warm evenings, house parties, or casual get-togethers. If you like citrus-forward drinks with a fruity twist and a long, fizzy sip, this one lands squarely in your wheelhouse.

Highball glass
Ingredients
Cocktail Colin says:
Peach schnapps leads with juicy stone-fruit sweetness, while gin, white rum, tequila blanco, and triple sec stack a clean, punchy spirit backbone that lemon juice sharpens and lemonade stretches into a bright, fizzy highball. It works because the lemon juice and lemonade lift and dilute the mixed spirits while keeping the peach schnapps from cloying, making it ideal for drinkers who want a citrusy, boozy refresher with a fruity finish.
