Print Recipe

A smoky, sweet, and boozy summer cocktail featuring grilled peaches, brewed sweet tea, and vodka. Perfect for warm weather unwinding and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 3 cups brewed sweet tea, chilled
  • 1 cup vodka
  • 1/4 cup simple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Ice cubes, as needed
  • Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon (optional, for sprinkling on peaches before grilling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, around 400°F (204°C).
  2. Rinse and halve the peaches, removing the pits. Optionally sprinkle a light dusting of cinnamon on the cut sides.
  3. Place the peaches cut-side down on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and the fruit softens slightly.
  4. Flip and grill the other side for 2 minutes, avoiding burning.
  5. Remove peaches from grill and let cool for about 5 minutes. Slice each half into wedges.
  6. In a large pitcher, gently muddle the grilled peach wedges to release juices but keep some texture.
  7. Add chilled sweet tea, vodka, simple syrup, and fresh lemon juice to the pitcher. Stir gently to combine.
  8. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more simple syrup if desired.
  9. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the cocktail over.
  10. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a peach slice if desired.

Notes

Use firm but juicy peaches for best grilling results. Avoid overripe peaches to prevent mushiness. Muddle peaches gently to release juice without pulverizing. Homemade brewed sweet tea is preferred for freshness. Chill glasses beforehand for a frosty drink. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and stir gently before serving.
