Bourbon Peach Iced Tea

There’s nothing more refreshing in the summer than a glass of perfectly sweet iced tea—except one spiked with bourbon. The bourbon adds a warmth to the tea that makes for an easy and refreshing drink to serve at any casual dinner party or summer BBQ.

This sweet tea is also sweetened by a peach simple syrup that is much easier to make than you’d imagine. It’s a great way to use up those summer peaches, especially if they are starting to feel a little too soft. Frozen peaches can also be used if you're in a pinch, but I find that fresh peaches have the best flavor and therefore will give a stronger peach flavor to your tea.

The peach simple syrup will make more than you will need for the tea, but can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Trust me—once you make this iced tea once, you’ll be wanting it again. The simple syrup would also be incredible in other cocktails like a peach margarita or poured over ice cream.
